That one eluded me for longer than it should've, mostly because I was in a rush and didn't notice I'd reused a wrong vowel rather than trying the one I wanted.
last 4 days i had a 3, 4 5 & 6... glad i went back to a 3..
i don't have hard mode selected, but i try to stick to that method.
this is my 133 puzzle and i'm well over 50 different first words.
don't really think it matters all that much.
at least 4 have been Wordle words... i just tried them on the wrong day...
Since my basic words do not contain the rarely used letters (egQWZXV) and a handful of other letters - a lack of hits like today gives me clues too - as I know that the missing letters are in that batch or of course indicate a doubling up...
