If you discover the secret please let me know! I think (at the point you described) it comes down to luck.I'm clearly a poor guesser. The last three days have been similar: I get three letters correctly placed by the third attempt; then just outright have to guess which of the remaining 4, 5, or 6 possibilities fits. Twice I fail, and once come in at 5. It's frustrating that, for me, it often just comes down to guesswork rather than skill! A number of you here either have some insight I lack or are phenomenally good at guessing correctly! Wish I knew the 'secret'!
