i tried a few practice words on some archive site & i can safely say that i hate this game :lol:  i get them in 3-5 turns but i'm more of a math person so the process really aggravates me.

It would be far more efficient to narrow down the dictionary by not repeating letters from your previous guesses.

For example, you could guess AUDIO and STERN in back to back guesses to rule out all vowels and 5 consonants. If you had to repeat letters in your second guess, you can't rule out as many letters as quickly.

Gotcha. I play it "hard mode" way without being in hard mode then I guess. Once I yellow or green a letter, I always fit it into the next guess.

I do that as well but I did cheat once.

I noticed my browser tab changed the other day, and it reset my stats. Is this why?

I open it newly daily. I haven't tracked anything. 

Today's is difficult. I have the 1, 2, and 4 spots figured out. But still can't see it. Need more coffee.

After the fourth I was stumped for a bit. I shouldn't have been. Always a word I should've known.

Edit: this is the NYTimes version fwiw.

So some have black and others light gray for missed tiles. Are both of you using NYTimes? I go to:

https://www.nytimes.com/games/wordle/index.html

And mine looks like iladelphxx's. I'm on mobile. 

My link to Wordle is the old site www.powerlanguage.co.uk/wordle, but it takes me directly to NYTimes now. It looks the same to me.  I forgot to play one day so I lost my streak. That’s the only difference.

That’s silly that if you miss a day your streak ends.

Cynic stumped me.  I made the mistake of guessing cyber and was stuck for like 20 minutes after that.

Why wouldn't you use the same letters once you've identified them, even in "normal" mode?

I sometimes use a word with all new common letters as my 2nd word to rule things out and expose letters, makes the 3rd guess easier.

Like STERN then CHAMP for example. Depends on how many letters my first word gets me.
