Wordle (so far) does not repeat words,
You should try checking to see if your guess has been used and if so try something else.

...resources like that because I want to do Wordle just on what I'm able to figure out. It's probably why my average is 3.7 and won't go any lower.

But just something that takes up a lot of time. It's just a game! I use the same first word each time and I did make sure it has not been used--hoping for a second first-guess win!--but I don't check the guesses.

I feel like it's using all available resources. Now, if you look up the actual answer somewhere and then play...that's cheating.

I would probably not use the past Wordle list. But I'm playing against a computer. I don't have a word list for Word Hurdle, and my average attempts are about the same.

I also keep track everyday by saving a copy of the puzzle on a word document. It's better than trying to trust my memory. I could to back and look but it would take way too long so for me this resource is better.

Some lazy luck. I remembered I had a single hit E in place about a week ago, so I looked it up and used the same word.

I'm pretty sure whatever i came up with for my third guess it would never have been ounce. But you can blame gnome on my Australien friend who sent me an email about an Australian Broadcasting gardening show whose host looks like a garden gnome.
