Didn't know it was such a popular word!

Not going to spoil anything by explaining why this word was my starter.

I'm now going to start using my backup word which I normally use when I get no yellow or green letters at the start so another 1 could be coming my way soon...

I thought I'd snaffled a 2 in my 1000th game but it wasn't to be.

I think I may change my starter word from tomorrow after using old faithful for a the best part of 3 years. Today's results made me hungry for another hole in one :lolol:

Just as a matter of interest, when did you miss 6 days, as I started the same day as you and am up to 1006 games?

Hmmm. I've only ever missed one day. I thought it was the 1000th as that what my phone's calculator suggests (I do my average on it each day). Maybe I didn't start doing the average until a few days in.

I’m glad I never look at this thread before playing. That would have spoilt the joy of watching 5 squares turn green this morning πŸ˜‚
I stopped doing that a long while back as it gives you an advantage of sorts - when there are plenty of twos for example you can be fairly sure that a lot of the most common letters are used.

It took me ages before I used a check list of previous words after a guess and I only did that because lots of others confirmed they did - my average has understandably improved since then because of it.

Luck remains a key constituent though as despite the good start today I could easily have had a 4

Agree with all that. Checking this thread first, especially when you know of at least two others using the same starter word, would give an β€œunfair” advantage.

As for previous answers list, I admit I check it, but only if I am on last guess and have more than one option. Although will obviously check it now to come up with a new starter word.

It’s not often I’m disappointed with a 3.

Streak 712
Average 3.74

Ditto

I feel I’m at the bottom of the class today with all these 1s and 2s.

But at least I’m in good company πŸ™‚
