Sad to report that my run of 300 successful guesses came to an end today on 301st attempt. Overall average 3.83. Will probably keep going, I still enjoy the challenge. (And oh, how I am kicking myself - the word never even occurred to me, it was not on my list of possible solutions!)

Phew - I was starting to sweat a little there after the first few goes - but finally got there. I think that I will keep playing, but stop posting my stats on here now. Thanks for all the support / friendly rivalry / banter on this thread - it has been fun :) Oh, and very well done to those who...

Seems like quite a wide variation today - clearly highly dependent on the first (and second) words used Wordle 386 3/6 ⬜🟨⬜🟨🟨 ⬜⬜🟨🟨🟨 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 Streak=199 Average=3.75

In my case, the luck involved was that I had the first and, importantly the last letter on my second guess. Had I gone for a different word on my second guess, I could have easily been in the same position as you (and others). In my view, I was lucky to have chosen my second word, as it avoided...

I think the wide range of answers / attempts today just goes to reinforce the view that luck (in terms of what your starting and follow-up word is) does play quite a large part in this. After your first / second guess is when the skill starts to kick in, I think. Wordle 385 3/6 🟩⬜⬜🟨🟨 🟩🟨🟨🟨🟩...

Makes a nice change to be getting them in less than 4, after what feels like a streak of tough words Wordle 384 3/6 ⬜⬜⬜⬜🟩 🟨⬜🟨⬜🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 Streak=197 Average=3.76

It was nice to buck the trend in the right direction, for once. Stumbled onto a 2nd guess that pretty much only left me with one word for the 3rd guess. Heaven only knows where I would have ended up with a different guess at turn 2. Wordle 383 3/6 ⬜⬜🟨🟨⬜ 🟨🟨🟨🟨⬜ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 Streak=196 Average=3.76

Like many here, thought that I was heading for a fail, then realised that I had used so many letters in the first few goes, that the answer then dawned - after a long, long gap Wordle 382 4/6 ⬜⬜⬜⬜⬜ ⬜⬜🟩⬜⬜ ⬜🟩🟩⬜⬜ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 Streak=195 Average=3.76

Well, that led to a bit of head-scratching for quite a while. Thankfully, the first 2 guesses had eliminated a lot of possibilities, so got there in the end. Wordle 375 4/6 ⬜⬜🟨⬜⬜ 🟨🟨⬜⬜⬜ 🟨🟩⬜🟩🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 Streak=188 Average=3.76

Not looking good after the first attempt, but as so often happens, it actually eliminated a lot of possibilities Wordle 374 4/6 ⬜⬜🟨⬜⬜ 🟩🟩🟩⬜⬜ 🟩🟩🟩⬜🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 Streak=187 Average=3.76

Despite what seemd to be a good strong start, still struggled to nail this one down. Wordle 373 4/6 ⬜🟨🟨🟩🟨 🟨⬜🟨🟩🟨 ⬜🟩🟩🟩🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 Streak=186 Average=3.76

Have to say, very pleased with that - 2nd word got very close, and of the many possibles, guessed correctly for the 3rd attempt. Guesswork being the operative word :) Wordle 372 3/6 Wordle 372 3/6 ⬜⬜⬜⬜🟨 🟨🟨🟨⬜🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 Streak=185 Average=3.76
