For this one, my friend got it in the first try. I did change my strategy accordingly.

No, that was Beth. Best I've had is on the second guess.

How many games you've played? I think I've played around 236 .. or perhaps more. I'm not sure if I wiped cookies at some point. I'm sadly notorious for doing that. :doh: Do you work from a Wordle list? That's helpful. I think it's a difference between 13,000 possible words versus 2,300 wordle list words, or something like that? Or at least work with the rules that there are no plural 4 letter words made 5 by adding an 's'. No proper nouns, that sort of thing.

Wordle list, alphabetical. No spoilers.

Well, two stars is a good outcome for me when I'm playing freehand, so to speak, but today I was being more diligent and trying to figure out all the words in advance. It felt harder than usual finding efficient ways to re-sort them, though. :spin:
