Not beating Jeff today. Six tries, and barely got it:

Why all the repeat letters? That is the main thing I try to avoid to get better coverage.Originally posted by Northwestcoug View Post
I got it in three today:
Spoiler for Answered:
I forgot to enable hard mode before I started and it didn't allow me to do it in the middle of tries, hence my second guess not following all the rules. Hard mode is now enabled for me.Comment

Laughed when I saw they try to market it as a family fun game. Definitely too hard for kids. I like that it exposes blind spots in the way I problem solve. Nice to be reminded I’m not always seeing things as they are.Originally posted by Northwestcoug View Post
That’s hard. A few years ago we tried the card game with the kids. I think they played it once.
37 minutes, stuck on one left for the last 20

I think I only repeated one letter. I'm sorry DH, I'm trying to do better!Originally posted by beefytee View Post"...you pointy-headed autopsy nerd.

Play how you want. I was just curious about your technique and reasoning for having repeat letters in your middle three guesses. If there is none and you are just having fun guessing, that's cool too!Originally posted by Northwestcoug View Post

The repeat letter wasn't as bad as the fact that your third guess eliminated the possibility of your fourth guess being correct. You learned the 4th letter was in the wrong position on your third guess but re-used it in the same position on your fourth guess. Also, it looks like you had 5 guesses, not 6.Originally posted by Northwestcoug View Post
But please don't take my feedback as gloating because it also took me 5 guesses today. I had a 50/50 shot on the 4th guess and choose wrong.

What can I say, some days I'm groggy playing this. I do it before I get out of bed in the morning.Originally posted by BigFatMeanie View Post

Here is that I do:
First I pick two words that have a high combination of the top 10-12 most common letters (choke on it, DH).
Then I am very careful and deliberate about that third guess. Sometimes it is surprising how many things you are rule out just by staring at that keyboard and imagining possible combinations of the letters you have found. Then I make a list of all the possible words I can think of. Sometimes I have 3-5 words but only one of them seems like a good choice - the more common the word, the more likely it is. This morning I had a list of about 10 words for guess 3 so I picked one that was not only a common word, but it would give me a good set of eliminations on the other options. Sadly, my third guess was wrong, but it only left one option for guess 4 - which was correct."There is no creature more arrogant than a self-righteous libertarian on the web, am I right? Those folks are just intolerable."

She had the same 50/50 choice on the 4th word as I did but she chose wisely.Originally posted by Bo Diddley View PostComment
