    Must admit I got FAVOR quite quickly but only because a couple of people on Twitter were moaning about "English" spelling

    Repeated letters can make things a bit tricky

    I just did a 6 (first go), if you use up 'u' early then you essentially eliminate all words containing 'q', so 5 is possible. I'd say.

    I'm not sure I do Wordle 'right' as I don't try and guess in my first 3 goes, I simply input 3 words that have no common letters. I always (well I've been doing it for a fortnight and scored 4 each time) get it in 4.

    If in doubt you could always try T H I C K as your starter

    but seriously you just pick one, I use one with 3 vowels thinking if I find the vowels quickly the consonants look after themselves - though a Y can screw that up

    5 for me today

    Wordle 214 5/6*
    ⬛⬛⬛⬛
    ⬛⬛⬛
    ⬛⬛
    ⬛

    So long as your guesses are iterative improvements it's basically luck, although I suppose there's some mild degree of skill in choosing which letters to eliminate

    Four again
    Had it down to a choice of two but picked the wrong one first, otherwise it
    would have been three

    I got it in four today, first time I’ve done it. Fourth guess took me a minute though!

    Just got a two! Lucky choice of starter with the first three letters spot on.
    Only been doing it 3 days and I seem to have peaked.

    Got it in 2 today.

    First guess had 0 correct letters so you could say I was a tad lucky with my second guess!
