    Got it in 5, but after try 3 I had 4 green letters and 5 possible words ... had to post a word I knew it wasn't going to be to eliminate options! Spoiler: highlight the following for my guesses: AEROS Yellow A PLAIN Yellow A MATCH GREEN A, T,C, & H Bugger. That leaves me BATCH, CATCH, GATCH, HATCH, and WATCH BEWIG Yellow W - If it had been all grey, then I have two options left: CATCH and HATCH with two slots open. WATCH All green.

      Indeed. I got first 3 at right place by third attempt but really had to apply brut force to get to it in 4.

                                Got it in 3! First guess identified two correct letters in the wrong locations. Next guess, the same two letters in (different) wrong locations. Third try was the charm!

                                    Difficult to enforce ... Too easy to "cheat", particularly if you have a PC and a phone I think.

                                        Got it in 5, but after try 3 I had 4 green letters and 5 possible words ... had to post a word I knew it wasn't going to be to eliminate options! Spoiler: highlight the following for my guesses: AEROS Yellow A PLAIN Yellow A MATCH GREEN A, T,C, & H Bugger. That leaves me BATCH, CATCH, GATCH, HATCH, and WATCH BEWIG Yellow W - If it had been all grey, then I have two options left: CATCH and HATCH with two slots open. WATCH All green.

                                        I got it in three, but if I hadn't chosen the right first word, or made a lucky guess of the correct first letter out of seven possible valid choices, I might not have gotten it at all. 🟨🟨🟨⬛⬛ ⬛🟩🟩🟩🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩

                                        If you think 'goto' is evil, try writing an Assembly program without JMP.

                                          This is the kind of word that can put you beyond 6 if playing the hard variant.

                                          Indeed. I don't have hard mode enabled, but I play as if I did. I don't see the point in not using the letters I have right, or in reusing letters that I know aren't in the day's word.

                                          If you think 'goto' is evil, try writing an Assembly program without JMP.
