          So did my wife. Found one letter (common vowel out of place) on the first word and guessed it on the second. Total luck.

          Three tries for me.

          Spoiler for guesses:
          LATER
          METAL
          PLEAT

            Yeah, I actually considered the solution after my first word. There's significant luck involved with any given puzzle. Average scores over time are probably the most meaningful measure of performance.

                I had the answer as one of 10 or so words after my first guess.

                BTW, I want to thank DH for his wordle bullying. So far my average guesses per puzzle has gone down since switching to "hard" mode.

                    You're welcome. Now time to stop being a bitch who starts with a "AE vowel, RST consonant" word every day.

                    2 today

                    Spoiler for 2 Guesses:
                    GUEST
                    PLEAT

                    TREAT was leading the way as my primary option for guess #2, but I didn't like resuing the T so early. So I had CLEAT in and ready to hit enter, and then I thought "is there another consonant more common than C that I could slip in there instead. So I scrolled the available letters. B, but Bleat is a worse choice. Then P jumped out. Nailed it.

                              I don't know that the number of guesses really says much. The only issue there is if you reuse letters too much. I think a more accurate sign of ability would be time it takes to solve it.
