I'd say that was about 98% luck. I had decided to look for an "N" or an "L" and it just game to me.

Were past answers and wouldn't be used again...at least so far.
I always check to see if a guess has been used. Saves many a bust LOL.

(2,350 posts)I know it's technically legal, but it takes away some of the skill element from Wordle. I remember reading that there were something like 5000 eligible 5-letter words in the English language, so in another year or so, the pool will be shrinking fairly dramatically and it'll be a matter of choosing from an handful of unused words. The NYT average scores will trend down to the low 3s and high 2s, and the thrill of getting a 2 would feel a bit hollow. I prefer the challenge of coming up with sacrifice words that use up 3 or 4 of the possible letter options. Today it'd be words like "maven" or "chugs" to chip away at the possibles. But, like everything in life, to each his own!

(14,398 posts)That's how I found out was by somebody here telling me about it.
Also, it depends on what your personal "rules" are for playing this thing.
I keep a personal record of all the games I've done. They're jpgs so not searchable but it helps jog my memory about how I dealt with my past starter word in similar situations.
So, is it kosher to use your memory to keep from trying old answers? I happened to remember 2 of those in the above post without looking them up. If you have a freaking good eidetic memory maybe you wouldn't need a list at all. So is that legal? My memory ain't that good so I sometimes remember a used word but way not enough.
As you say, though, to each his own.
