      That’s funny. I haven’t dreamed Wordle. Yet.

          • I hate word games. My wife routinely kicks my ass at Scrabble. 2 guesses, and I have four letters (one in the right spot). And I am struggling to get a third guess in.

                    Definitely understand the frustration. I thought of and used "hause" over "pause"

                    I suck with words. I wonder if there is a numbers equivalent

                        Yeah, me too. I think I rushed through it too much.

                            • 3 today.

                              Spoiler for Totally SFW Discussion:
                              I was wanting to start with RAMEN today, because I saw that word last night and thought 'decent starter word'. But then I realized there was an M in yesterday's word and it seemed unlikely to hit 2 days in a row. So I'll save RAMEN for another day. Didn't even occur to me that yesterdays word STARTED with an H, but I went ahead and started with an H word today. I'm dumb like that.

                              PAUSE

                              For me, the difference between getting in 4 and getting in 3 is usually how much time I'm willing to spend after my first guess. If I rush into a second word, I'll probably get it in 4 unless I get lucky and hit. If I take my time and assess, I greatly increase my chances of getting it in 3.

                              I spare you the nitty gritty details, but I spent about 10 minutes today coming up with two types of words and then picked from one of those types the word that would eliminate the most words, either by letter choice and by confirming location (or not) of the E. Worked out.

                              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

                                You've got to do it like a logic game from the LSAT. Start crossing out spaces that the letters can't go from the information you have, and then deduce where they can go and look at potential words.
