3 today. Thought was on for real good one when got 4 amber on first go but got three green and one amber on second.
****ing fuming. First fail, even though had 4 letters from first guess. Had one guess at 6 with 4 correctly placed letters and chose the wrong one. Been a **** night.
You gotta eliminate letters chaps to get there with words like this. Had 4 in the right place after 3 goes. 4th guess chose wrong. 5th go eliminate the options so got it in 6.
Does everyone have standard words that they use first couple of goes? 'Adieu' is a cracking first word as it gets most of the vowels out the way, and i'll normally put 'storm' as my second word. I don't get low scores, but i always get it in the 6 (so far).
I always use the same first word "sweat" which covers many of the most popular letters and then take it from there.
