Why on earth would someone use a letter they have eliminated?
3 today btw
i hate to raise my head up and be a target for DH, but I’ve done this in the past. Usually when I’ve gotten impatient with the day’s puzzle, I’d pick a word that has eliminated letters but not others. It’s sacrificing a turn but still helps.
but no more!!!
"...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."

There are times when it is difficult to think of a word that will fit the options you have left, but including an already used letter gets you there.
Ain't it like most people, I'm no different. We love to talk on things we don't know about.

"Discipleship is not a spectator sport. We cannot expect to experience the blessing of faith by standing inactive on the sidelines any more than we can experience the benefits of health by sitting on a sofa watching sporting events on television and giving advice to the athletes. And yet for some, “spectator discipleship” is a preferred if not primary way of worshipping." -Pres. Uchtdorf

C’mon, you of all people shouldn’t struggle with this one

I've used orate since I began playing three weeks ago, but with a tip of the cap to OG I went with irate this morning. Had I stuck with my usual first guess I suspect my second would have been liner, so no diff.

OK, but how is this any kind of advantage? I.e., why would outlawing this make it harder? It seems like allowing this would waste a turn and make it more difficult in the long run to score in fewer guesses.
Seems like DH should be a fan of this. Kind of like starting with a bad initial guess.

It's weak. If you can't come up with a word that doesn't reuse discarded letters, and uses the known letters in their correct and/or available positions, you deserve to fail the day.

Maybe you don't care to spend that much time?
