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:

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.
Spoiler for Keep getting lucky with that third guess:
IRATE
STEAK
PLEAT
"...you pointy-headed autopsy nerd. Do you think it's possible for you to post without using words like "hilarious," "absurd," "canard," and "truther"? Your bare assertions do not make it so. Maybe your reasoning is too stunted and your vocabulary is too limited to go without these epithets."

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.
Prepare to put mustard on those words, for you will soon be consuming them, along with this slice of humble pie that comes direct from the oven of shame set at gas mark “egg on your face”! -- Moss
There's three rules that I live by: never get less than twelve hours sleep; never play cards with a guy who's got the same first name as a city; and never go near a lady's got a tattoo of a dagger on her body. Now you stick to that, everything else is cream cheese. --Coach Finstock

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.
