I had a similar pattern today so I'm a little bit relieved to see someone else had the same problem. I got the general jist quickly but I still had another 2 possible words so it really was just a swing and a miss. But it's the 4th fail I've managed this year, having had just 1 last year and they all look like this. I don't know how other people are ruling out all the the other options so quickly but congratulations for doing so. I'm enjoying following along with the competition, good work all!

Edit: I did this in the wee hours and teed it up and forgot to press send.

Some people check previous answers to rule them out. I don't tend to do that myself but I remembered that
watch and catch had been solutions
so went for the next most common word. I do often have a look at past answers after I play though to see if my memory was right.

You are very good at this. I always check that each guess is not a previous answer. My brain is wired oddly and my speech centre is vulnerable to resonance, meaning I reuse words in aesthetically unpleasing proximity. I have to edit my written work because of this. It can be on a clunky par with the rhyming quality of of the first two lines of 'War Pigs' (look it up :lolol:). With wordle, I would very certainly make guesses using words that have been the answer recently.

Yep, I think we've all worked out the checkers have a distinct advantage. Hopefully, Wordle will introduce repeats before too long, and as the 5 letter words diminish, to make it a level playing field, as otherwise the advantage will only grow.

Is past solution-checking the Wordle equivalent of IV rehydration drips (<100ml in any 12 hour period) for athletes OR steroids, I wonder? πŸ€” It helps, but doesn't guarantee a low score. I like the idea that NYT may start repeating words although I read somewhere that there's 15000 5letter words.
