I'm sure someone else has said the mechanics of this beautifully simple and addictive game remind them of Mastermind, and with any excuse needed to post this, in the spirit of "there is no new thing under the sun"...

A fortunate 3 today and my average is now 4.17. I can’t see much chance of lowering this though because to get 3 requires a fair share of luck I reckon. It is a rebranding of Mastermind I agree but the fact that knowledge of English language/vocabulary/letter patterns adds a further skill element is good. I ‘enjoy’ the stages between 2 and 4 the most as you try to maximise your chance of success - I do use the same starter word too. I bet Tony can ace this game!

I thought this at first until I saw my brother in law getting it in 3 every day and decided it can't be luck!

If you pick 1st and 2nd words that cover all the vowels and the most common letters you're usually left with a 50/50 chance of what it could be in the 3rd guess.

No spoilers but, is today’s word a well known one?

I’m 3 guesses in, have 2 greens and a yellow but NO clue what it could possibly be, can’t work out for the life of me where the yellow could go.

Yes, I'd say it is.

Rule out what it can't be based on your letters and you'll get there, and it'll seem obvious once you know!
