I enjoy Wordle but I’m not sure if I’ll stick with this one - it’s ok but I think Wordle involves more thought

I’ve got bored with Wordle. It’s a more ingenious game in its design but it’s reached the stage now where so many words you come up with have been used before that it just got a bit tedious. Alphaguess is less clever, agreed but at least the potential answers are pretty much limitless. I’ll continue for a while.
Favourite game is probably NYT’s Spelling Bee. The £3 or so a month I pay for all the NYT games is good value if you’re a keen puzzler.

One question I keep toying with. What’s more indicative of being good at this game — a low number of guesses regardless of time taken, or a shorter time regardless of number of guesses? It’s difficult to have both low and short unless you fluke it.
