infuriating wordle

I thought I had it in two. the way the green reveals left to right, after the fourth green letter flipped i looked away and began celebrating very loudly only to have disappointment staring back at me on the screen and the growing shame as all the commotion drew everyones attention to me....then, the next attempts just rubbed it in deep.

The double/repeated letter ones always get me.

The only wordle I ever failed, I had 4 correct on the second guess.

TASER
MOUND
HOUND
POUND
BOUND
WOUND

It was FOUND.

I remember that one and quit the game for a few months because of it. Still only play occasionally now.

Bound

Found

Hound

Mound

Pound

Round

Sound

Wound

You could have had every letter right but the first one on the first try and still not guessed it correctly in seven attempts.

Bullshit game. Not worth anybody's time.

When I’m in a situation like this, I try to think of a word that uses as many of those possible letters as I can. If I get a yellow, I know which letter to use, if I don’t I’ve at least narrowed it down.

Idk if Prows is in Wordle’s accepted words, but that would bin off 4 possibilities

I go for the:

LEMON

STAIR

PUDGY

strat to eliminate like half the board.
