Think I just got super lucky. Correctly got the answer in 3 tries. Now you have to wait 16 hours for the next word?

Yes, daily game. Which sucks but is a smart move on their part.

Been playing over a week now and did not get it on one day. Have learned some strategy since then.

My first guess had two correct letters in the wrong position. I’m guessing that’s pretty lucky

I’ve been playing this with my daughter. We’ve got every word for about the last week. Good strategic game. Repeated letters are the only challenging part

Yeah, if you’re careful to get vowels out there early and never repeat a letter, you’ll do very well.

Within the first two guesses you can usually nail down the vowels. Then it’s relatively straightforward

Feeling that 2 tries is nearly pure luck. 3 tries takes a good amount of luck. 4 has to start being pretty common.

This creator is sitting on a fortune. Wonder if he has any idea what to do from here.

I think it’s almost like the initial 2048. Copycats came out of the woodwork. It’s quite mechanical now. I rarely miss getting 4096. Never gotten to 8192.
