Like you mention, it will gradually get harder, especially if you don't use the past Wordles lists. I think my average is creeping up slowly and is now at 3.86 over 1219 attempts.

By my calculation it will be Wordle's 4 year anniversary on June 19th (this thread started about 8 months after).

I'll probably keep going as it's just something to do each day, like breathing XD

Thanks CAM . So something like 1450 words have been used already. From what I can read Wordl chooses the word each day from a list of 2319 suitable words so the available stock is dwindling. Of course there are many more 5 letter words in existence than the 2319 reservoir they use but if they choose to expand the reservoir, the challenge of guessing correctly will increase.

I?ll probably stay with it a bit longer and start making the second guess blind as Raging Pup suggests elsewhere. It is a habit like breathing as you say but I find I enjoy the other NYT puzzles more (Spelling Bee, Connections and the Crossword) plus things like the Daily Waffle.

I agree with the comments about the reduced pleasure in the game lately. It feels like a bit of a chore nowadays. I'm sticking with it though as I still feel the challenge of keeping a run going. I'm also curious as to just how obscure the game will become. There are some very technical and unused words out there.

Didn't manage my hat trick today. A 3 after much staring at my screen:

Unlucky Kerr - I'm also on a 3, a good recovery after first guesses but lucky to have first letter

Some good recoveries today after zero starts. 3 for me too but without a zero start

Fcukin stupid word, and after a zero start, a lot of staring at the screen, and a little bit of luck ended up with a 5.

Finished with a 4 after a lot of staring into space. Put a blind guess in for the second go which sped things up a bit even though the word didn?t add any progress.

Was amazed when my 4th guess didn't turn all green only to realise I'd forgotten to utilise one of the g from my 3rd guess XD
