I've had a couple of failures in recent weeks. Which has annoyed me beyond reason. One the other day, I'd got three letters (wrong places) on guess two. By guess four I had three letters in the right places. Then I got the last letter but it was pot luck for the first letter. Hairy? Lairy? Fairy? Dairy? Too many possible solutions for the number of guesses I had remaining. Grrr! ![rage](/inc/images/rage.gif)
Unless you’re playing in hard mode, the solution is to use one guess as a throwaway to eliminate letters. 28th March, I faced this: 6 possible answers and 4 remaining attempts!![rage](/inc/images/rage.gif)

Using the throwaway I guaranteed myself a win. It still took me to the last possible letter to get it right though

First fail today for me. WTF is that all about - it’s just a name isn’t it? Never heard it used any other way even in the US.
I was missing the first and third letters after 3 rounds, used a couple of throwaway which were no help, thought there was only one possible word left for my final try.
It’s annoyed me more than it should.

My crossword solver lists 79 words given letters 2,4 and 5I was missing the first and third letters after 3 rounds, used a couple of throwaway which were no help, thought there was only one possible word left for my final try.

Well that was a complete fluke today.
Got what turned out to be No5 but in the wrong place on line 1.
Got Nos 1,2, and 4 on line 2.
Coupled with knowing a fourth letter, entered guess 3 just as a laugh thinking it's a name or not a word so perhaps not allowed.
Aaaaannd BOSH!
Can appreciate people being irritated by that one.

Failed today, stupidly went down the rabbit hole of having three of the letters in the correct places and reused them for each of the remaining guesses. Should have used a throwaway to give me some more letters instead of wasting my guesses reusing the three letters I knew, only eliminating two more letters each guess.
Annoying.
Annoying.

Damn yanks. Don’t they know Wordle is played outside the US?
Still, I got it in four but Mrs Molehusband was really annoyed with the word when I gave her a clue to get it in five.
I was 4 today also. You have to play it with American spellings in mind as we’ve had some of those too. Still, I got it in four but Mrs Molehusband was really annoyed with the word when I gave her a clue to get it in five.
