Me too (or two). Got two greens and a gold first up. Which does help!

For the first time, I asked 'er indoors to guess. As above, she got an amber and two greens with the first guess, and 5 greens on the second guess.

Should I be really pleased for her, or gnashing my teeth because that is better than I have done so far (my best has been three guesses)?

It really is largely down to pure luck, of how useful your first guess is, though.

Two for me today. But there are probably whole forums somewhere to working out what the best first word(s) are to give you the best chance. So - today I chose a word that had two greens and two yellows. Lucky - yes, but also after a bit of thought over the last week of doing this as to what is most likely to be useful first or second words. That is - you can make your own luck to a degree.

Yes, first word guess is critical.

Definitely. Picking a word with common letters first (a, e, r, t, s, n, l - then i, o if the a e dont appear) gives you a better chance than going for Z, Q, J, V.

Tell her you're pleased, then be passive aggressive for the rest of the holiday.

This could be addictive, Im sure I’ll get better in time. 6 today.

MTSeagulls · Dec 28, 2021

Two for me today as well. I chose a tactic in choosing a word with four vowels which luckily worked out nicely.
I have had a 2,4,5 and 2 in the four days I have played so far.

Mellotron · Dec 28, 2021

Day 1 - 6 - didn’t really understand the assignment fully
Day 2 - 6 - poor effort
Day 3 (today) - 4 - here we go

Long term I’m aiming for an average of 3 or below.

does everyone get the same word or are yo assigned a random word

Did anyone else get thrown off by the word yesterday having the same letter twice.

I had

_E_R_ and spent ages trying to figure out what could realistically go between E & R

I had FER_Y and was flummoxed, as it didn't like FERNY.

Who doesn't like FERNY?

FERNY is my favourite word.

Totally threw me as first word I’ve seen them use the same letter twice in (but I’ve not been playing for ages).
