    I got it after 5 and a lot of brain wracking. I was a bit surprised when it came up green, simply because I had thought it was a brand name, but apparently not.

    Exactly the same for me in terms of attempts and brand name thing.

    I briefly considered that T might be the final letter. Yagzhemash!

    Very nice!

    (I didn't realise until a couple of years ago that Jak się masz was actually Polish and means 'how are you?' I thought my Polish colleague was taking the piss!!)

    Me too. It gave me the same kind of excitement as when my food in a restaurant turns up on a plate.

    Fail for me - fortunately I cocked up my streak on Monday by forgetting to do it so just disappointing
    Had 2 letters in the right place after 4 goes and 5 or 6 words that could go in but with little overlap of letters guessed wrong. I think it would have probably taken me 8 goes today

    Exactly the same for me. Shame it's not like Quordle which although I missed doing it on Monday just the same, retained the win streak at Sunday's figure.

    I remember one of the first few times I played Wordle I put MOUND in as the first word and it came up with 5 green, OUND.
    I then put in something like SOUND, ROUND, FOUND, BOUND, POUND and lost because the answer was HOUND.

    (Now I would obviously make up a word with the possible letters in it, but at the time thought I was bound to hit one)
