Probably not fair, but funny anyway.

I'm struggling to find what your 3rd line word might have been. I may need a coffee first.

I can think of three straight off though it does depend on previous eliminations - two of the possibilities wouldn't work for me as I'd eliminated some of the letters earlier.

could have been less goes - line 3 was not really likely
and the 4 th line could have one of two things - naturally I tried 'the other one'

This does not count and I'm a bit miffed tbh as one of the other threads on here had planted a seed in my head.

I am familiar with the word but may not have got it otherwise.

Yup - I try to ignore this thread just in case

but it is rather mean to put clues on posts - even if you disguise them

Sometimes the temptation is great to post a witty little cluelet.

Normally I don't post here until I've done it anyway, so I can spot any subtle clues people give. However, if I hadn't done it I think I'd be too thick to spot them.

All the same, please don't do it.

This thread has been okay afaik - it was a completely unrelated thread today that spoilt it for me.

It was entirely the accidental I'm sure.

Have asked the @Moderators to drop a note into the appropriate thread.

Quordle is the one that frustrates me, am doing practice sheets but haven't found a reliable strategy.

I usually start with STARE or TEARS, then look for a letter which appears as yellow in two or more words; my second guess will be a word which puts this letter in a different position, and four other letters (I try to get L, M, N and D used if I can). If there's nothing obvious, I find DOING and MOUND are good complementary words to my starters.

Try not to guess (one of the answers) unless necessary - if there are two or three options for one of the words, it's better to concentrate on one of the other words, which often narrows down the possibilities.

If it's really hard to think what an answer is, that's usually a good sign, because it means that it's likely that there's only one answer and that you'll hit upon it eventually!

I normally fire up with 10 different letters, WET CURTAIN for example, goes 1 and 2 and that usually makes one quadrant eminently solvable or go 3 will be a word shifting Yellow letters in multiple quadrants or confirming one or other choices for missing letters in multi quadrants.

I laboured over this for a good 15-20 minutes.

I call that having cheated or used a 2nd device or had a big hint.....
