Bit surprised at some low scores on this, I thought this was relatively easy. But then, people seemed to do OK with night a few days ago and I thought that was a tough one - it's not always easy to tell
So much of it is down to luck with your first and (to a lesser extent) second word. I do have a few systems/techniques, but I don't claim to be any kind of genius, so I put quite a few of my twos and threes down to having the rub of the green.
Other times, like today, when it goes wrong, it can go REALLY wrong
A very lucky 2, was looking for a word with the 2 yellow letters reversed to try to find out if that was how the word ended, or whether they were to be found elsewhere in the word. The word i used was the 2nd i thought of that ended in that letter combination, (i couldn't use the 1st word i thought of as I had already ruled out one of the letters from my first guess) - Very surprised when they all turned green

Unfortunately I've missed yesterday's game, as very busy and simply didn't realise it wasn't done until I completed today's game.
