Same. I got a lot of letters early and in the right position. There were just too many possible words. Those make for the toughest puzzles.Comment

Went officially hard mode today. 3 tries. Got lucky with that third guess:
Spoiler for Guesses:"...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."

Ha. Yeah, going with an uncommon word over a really common word is typically not a good strategy.Originally posted by Donuthole View Post"There is no creature more arrogant than a self-righteous libertarian on the web, am I right? Those folks are just intolerable."

3 for me. My second guess was technically a bad guess as I used a letter that should have been invalid, but it it let me do it on hard mode. But it also turned out to be good guess because I didn't have the "many possibilities" problem that some you had on subsequent guess.
Spoiler for Hard mode seems broken:Comment

I learned that with Hard mode one must use previous green hints in the same place. Previously, I would occasionally move the revealed hint to a different spot in order to use a word that maximized the number of new consonants, setting me up for an easy third step solution. This way takes a little longer to mull over but can result in fewer steps.Comment
