We've told you lots of times. It's not clever it's just following a technique. Eliminate letters before guessing. The simplest way is to have a fixed set of words to try first that use the common letters. Don't guess until pretty certain.

It works but rarely gives a win in 2



I must have missed a day - that breaks the run.

Ah,  but looking on the bright side,  I got it in 3 yesterday.   :smiley:

I do have a list of words like you suggested,  but it still doesn't always work,  not for me anyway.

You started guessing without using all your words before you had enough information to be right.

Looking at this today it seems you never had more than 3 letters..

If you had been using the correct method you'd have had at least 4 and ideally all 5 letters by your third attempt. There are no duplicate letters in my first three words.

I know what the green squares mean,  but what do the mauve and orange ones mean?

🟩 = right letter right place
🟨 = letter in word but not in that place
⬜ = letter not in word
