No need to shout!

No kidding. I chose my line 6 with no great optimism, well aware that several other perfectly good options were still available. Dumb luck that I got it, albeit at the fourth attempt.

I did wonder, musing on earlier postings about 'getting the best/most possible information', as against guessing, whether if you had my first line,

...would you (as I did) keep #2 & #3 in every subsequent line, or might you use letters you know (obvs) aren't right, just so's to check five new letters rather than three?

Asking for a friend.

It sort of depends - if you can see 3 or 4 different word possibilities, but could use most or all of the potential missing letters into a word that doesn't contain some of your green letters then its worth a shout, but if you are just (you think) missing 2 consonants its going to be hard to put in a word (as it has to be a valid word) containing more than 4 consonants to eliminate them, and depending on what your choices are, possibly only 3 consonants.

But if you thought for example missing letters had to be some of S T C K, then playing STACK would help you.

It like being certain to get it in 2 more goes, rather than maybe having to guess 4 times. if there are only 2 word choices left, just flip a coin and guess in turn as you have a 50;50 shot of being right in 1.

I do that too. It's like the brain just kicks into action long enough to solve it, but half an hour later I can't remember what it was

Half an hour? That's a great memory.
Take just a few seconds and I can't remember what

line 3 4 and 5 could all have gone right - still had the failure option looming

might you use letters you know (obvs) aren't right,

Setting to hard mode prevents that strategy so yes, it can be a help.
