Good strategy ! Will try next time…On my third try today I had 4/5 letters. On my fourth I still only had 4/5, but everything was in the right spot leaving one missing letter. Because I had three letters that would work, even though I thought one was a letter less often used than others and likely a better choice, I decided to make up a totally different word that used two of my three possibilities. That way I tested all three letters (2 in my new word, one by virtue of being left out of the word). So I got it in six, but if I’d chosen the letter “less often used” I would have had it in five.
You like numbers better than words? Whaaaattt?I just started playing recently. Today’s word was frustrating. It had so many options and in the end it became a guessing game.

I also play Mathler, a math version of wordle and like it better.
Hey I am Chinese. I’m predisposed to math over English wordsYou like numbers better than words? Whaaaattt?
i’m just kidding. I just hate math, as referenced in post #52 above.
I have to leave for an appointment but I’ll keep trying!I got it in six and the screen popped up ‘Whew!’ It was tough.
Sheesh! I finally got it on my fifth word after working on it off and on all day between appointments and errands. I also tried a lot of non-words just trying to find something that worked.
@DaveNV , I’m having 2nd thoughts about your idea for a clue. I sure could have used one today!
Got it in four today. Rick got it in five. Yesterday's puzzle Rick got in TWO. I skipped it because he whoop-whooped so loud, I looked over to see what he was so excited about and saw the work on his screen. Killjoy.
What brand of vehicle does he drive? He may have had an insider's head start.

The darn double letters get me every time. Today took me 6 again.
