So, by word 2 I had four right letter, right place. Four possibilities.

Definitely. I had OUND by line two a few days ago only to be left with a choice of B, F, H, M, P, S, W. Failed to guess correctly but one out of seven is pure luck.

You were presumably using hard mode, or as we all know you could have played BUMPS or similar in round 3 and made certain of finishing in 4 or 5.

But aren't you missing the point? Under hard mode playing a word such as BOUND without having already eliminated sufficient possible first letters leaves you open to this sort of scenario, so it must be a sub-optimal move.

You have my admiration, not sure I could have come up with 4 alternatives

No I don't use hard mode though when I have I find it the more skillful game and yes I should have used an eliminator but didn't for reasons that escape me. Probably I only recognised the number of options after I'd failed!

You mean you don't play as though your life depends on it!

I'm having to think harder for novel starter words. This one worked disappointingly well.

Nice in-joke from the Dordle peeps today.

I say nice, but I almost threw my phone in a hedge.

*Looks up dordle...

...nope.

Haven't bothered with Quordle for several days but gave it a go today and it wasn't too bad.
