"Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well-preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming “Wow! What a Ride!" - Hunter S Thompson - RIP

5 for me too. It was a tease as I thought I could crack it in second go given the letters I got. But I soon realized I knew so many words with those letters. ⬜🟩🟨⬜⬜ ⬜🟩⬜🟩⬜ ⬜🟩⬜🟩⬜ ⬜🟩🟨🟩🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 ⬜⬜⬜⬜⬜

Five for me too - partly because I used a word that didn't completely fit the known letters on guess 4 to eliminate an extra vowel. ⬛🟨⬛⬛⬛ ⬛🟩⬛⬛🟩 ⬛🟩⬛⬛🟩 🟩🟩🟨⬛⬛ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩

4 for me, but third one was a stupid guess - I should have gone straight for the fourth. My two starting words proved a good general strategy for other days too. 🟨⬜⬜⬜⬜ 🟩🟩⬜⬜⬜ 🟩🟩⬜🟨⬜ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩

Not 1 a day if you download Ravi's version[^]!

6 for me. Only missing one letter after 4, the middle. A 50/50 guess and I guessed wrong.

My wordle journey today was an unusual one (for me, at least): ⬜⬜🟨⬜⬜ ⬜🟨⬜⬜⬜ 🟨⬜⬜⬜⬜ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 The first three tries, the yellow box was the same letter. Having only one letter to go on after three guesses didn't portend well, I was getting nervous. For guess 4 I decided to see what I could mash together out of my one known letter and the remaining un-spent letters, and I got lucky (I think; perhaps there was only one possibility left at that point?).
