Is that it?



How about if word is
flags

And you guess
fluff

Or guess
stuff

??
For fails you're right

Flags and you guess fluff = ggbbb

Flags and you guess stuff = ybbyb

It takes the first f as being in the wrong place and then puts black thereafter

Ok, cheers. So only picks the first one and other stays as black. You never can get two letters from a guess referring to a single position in the solution.

Presumably it will pick a green over a yellow, before left to right for choosing one. Eg Fails and with guess sales is b…g , not y…b

Pretty sure I read somewhere that there are no plurals or verbs ending with S.

It's only rumoured atmo, he hasn't actually said so, but the only words that have ended in s so far (afaik) are truss and rebus

My second go at this and I've managed both in 4... but I put it away for a while today and came back fresh. I went from one green, one yellow across the first three... process of elimination from there but it's a satisfying head scratcher.

2 thumbs up.

I have two opening words, might not be perfect but they're mine for the moment. So I'm happy with getting it in 3, which I've done 3/11 times. 6/11 with 4 guesses. One 6 and one fail.

Spoiling the result is a shitty thing to do regardless of whether you think something is serious or not.

Toughy, I was confused after my second guess, it was not looking good. Pulled it back to get it in 4.

Joking on the second go and 5 I assume.

But how did you see it yesterday? Lancashire on different time zone now? Or are you using a VPN?

No, did yesterday and did today. Saw something on Arstechnica, I’m normally good at being ignorant of such trends.

Thought you were saying you did the exact same puzzle twice and still got 5.

That was close.

Also turn on "Hard Mode" in the options (the cogwheel top right) - it forces you to use the discovered letters in all your guesses.
