There goes my afternoon. Thanks a bunch.

 

[AndyRM]

That is hard going!

 

[Beebo]

I can get to poly but not ploy. How annoying.

 

[Aravis]

I did this a few times a while back. Did today's in 7.

 

[iandg]

3rd reset I did it in 8

 

[glasgowcyclist]

Apparently 7 is the optimal score. I did it in 12.

Took a lot of resets and a word I'd never heard of, but took a punt that it might actually be a word...

Did it in ten, no resets.
I used to do this sort of thing on paper quite a lot and usually found it easiest to get a word or two back from the final aim, and work towards that one from the first word.

Yes agree with the above, work an option are two back and aim for that and realise you need to change most letters a couple of times to get where you need to be.

I usually smash wordle in a few (having worked out a system ) but can't get my head around this at all
