[KarenS]

16. 3. A question for the group. Do you guys play this on "Hard Mode"?

[William Seger]

22. The asterisk indicates "hard mode"

... so you're one of the few!

[SKKY]

28. Really? I did not know that.

[Ohiya]

26. I usually play by the rules of the hard mode..

I think it gives you a better chance of getting a two or a three, but also it gives you a better chance of crapping out. I had a real long streak when I used to start with the same three words, (three words and fifteen different letters), but I never got less than a four.

Starter let me down today — had to break out the pen and paper to write possible combinations. I have a long streak going and don’t want to lose it, LOL.

[William Seger]

23. Pen and paper? How quaint!

What are you, some kind of Luddite?

24. Woohoo!

[Marthe48]

30. Surprised me!

I don't use word bot, just try to think of words that'll fit the clues I get

[William Seger]

33. WordleBot and Scoredle can only be used after you solve the puzzle

WordleBot just gives you some idea of how well you did in terms of skill and luck. It also shows how its algorithm would solve it, but that isn't particularly useful since no human could duplicate its perfect knowledge of the possible words or its mathematical precision in estimating probabilities. With Scoredle, you have to enter the solution word first, and then for each of your guesses, it just shows the words that were still possible -- I don't use that one very often, but sometimes it's interesting.

32. 2!

🟩🟨⬜⬜⬜ ARISE
🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 AORTA

I just played my usual starter word and AORTA popped into my head out of nowhere. I wonder what the explanation is for that sort of thing?

[intrepidity]

35. A smart brain?

Or, phonetics? Say "A R" in your head, and unless you're a pirate (aaaargh) or just stubbed your toe (AAAAARGH!) or from the far north (arctic), maybe aorta is a natural guess?

Anyway, congrats!
