Anyone else been doing these? I've not been spamming them across Twitter, but I think they're enjoyable enough little puzzles - I've not failed one yet, and I think it's a bit random how "well" one does, but I do quite like things that make me think through my own vocabulary a bit.
In case anyone hasn't come across it, it's a word guessing game based at:
https://www.powerlanguage.co.uk/wordle/
They post one puzzle a day, you guess a word, it gives green (right letter and place), yellow (right letter wrong place), and black (wrong letter) designations, you get up to six guesses. I think I once had to use all six, mostly I'm getting them in about four.
Today's I managed in three due mainly to luck (it gives you a little readout to show your guess pattern, but not what your words were so as not to give the game away):

I hadn't actually tried one until today though I had seen a lot of people posting about them.
I was quite pleased with three guesses though, yes, I do think there's a certain degree of luck involved!

Today's took four, which I think is more average:

Another four:

My guess distribution is now zero ones, one two, two threes, nine fours, three fives and a six, so four seems to be very heavily the average here.

I forgot to do yesterday's one, but today went well!
Oh that's impressive :) Also, wait, how did you get it to do it with white boxes, it always gives me black from the automatic readout?
I'm not sure, it just seems to do that when I click share and it copies the pattern for me to paste
Aha - I'm getting dark boxes because I was using it in dark mode :)

I feel like playing Wildermyth might've put me in an agrarian mood.
Here's mine! Three and two seem to be my most common number of guesses so far but that may just be luck!

I wonder if I partly overthink these things - like, I'll take strategic guesses to try and work out letter positioning rather than jumping straight for the most likely answer - which then reliably gets fours but rarely shoots for twos.

WREST was my first word, ALLOW the second.
There actually aren't many five letter words that include a W as not the first letter and also lack all of R, E, S, and T, so my first word put me on the right lines quite well :)
