Don't take this the wrong way; BUT.....
I'm just wondering how you manage to get a letter confirmed in the correct position on line 4, and then get it wrong on line 5?

I'm probably being stupid but I don't see how to link it to make a challenge or show your solutions.

Poor strategy on my part. I was trying to get some more positive letters - using the letters I had left, but putting the right letter in the right position wasn't bringing any useful words to mind to cover the remaining common letters. I therefore went for a word with the letter in the wrong place but which eliminated more letters to try and focus the riddle.

It's an interesting strategic element to the game play. In your first few words, you want to try to get the vowels and most common letters covered to give you a real key on the shape of the word. Arguably you might be better on your second row, ignoring any "correct" letters from the first row in favour of covering 10 letters from the outset.

When you finish (either successfully or a failure), there's a 'continue' button which bring up more details and a Share option.

Not liking that 6 letter version. It's a lot harder to come up with possible words to fit, once you have a couple of confirmed letters.

A minor gain, though, is that there will be fewer unused letters to choose from. A very minor gain admittedly.

It's very easy to get misled by doubled letters.

Thanks! What's the deal with doubled letters? If you put a word with a doubled letter in and they both go orange, does it mean you need both or could it be giving you the same info twice?
