Hmph. Hard mode trap.

Wordle 1,214 X/6*

I think they're running out of good words to use.

Wordle 1,214 X/6*

This was a trash word, but I'm super angry about it because I did think of it and it was a tossup for me about which of two words I would guess sixth, and I picked wrong.

I hate when that happens.

It might be kinda cool if at some point they decide to reuse words, maybe using a random generator. Then any word is statistically as likely as any other and there's no advantage to remembering if a word has already been used (no shade on anyone checking that list, just that it would alter game play in an interesting way)

My brother reports the wordlebot busted! It's a gnarly day when the 5s are top of the heap.

Doesn't make up for yesterday, but I'm now at equal numbers of 2s and 5s and +93 on 3s vs. 4s.

used a letter eliminator in 4 instead.

I'll have to check but I don't recall one before either.

Update:

I just checked. I've only been keeping distribution records since Jan 2024 but since then there have been 5:

02/24/2024 Piper
04/21/2024 Jolly
04/23/2024 Rover
05/19/2024 Hitch
10/15/2024 Corer

So, while rare, it is not unprecedented.
