Come on, man. What are the chances of it not being my second guess?

I was so fucking happy when I realised I would get my first second line win too. And then I didn't.

Actually, from the first guess alone, it could have been several other words too.

? R A N ?
crane, crank, drank, frank, grand, grant, prank;

There are no words starting with nra-

It was nevertheless a very strong start.  Well done Scriver!

Very nearly my first fail.

Someone's suggestion of Earth goes well with Coins. 4 vowels, most common letters other than L and D. Even when I get nothing, I've eliminated most possibilities. Hard mode, obviously, makes that combination impossible unless you manage to get zero right on one of them.

That yellow is the same letter both times. I had to find it through elimination, but it made the word easier to figure out.

omg, lots of uncommon letters used in today's word. Really had me scratching my head for a few minutes there.

I turned on hard mode for today (any green letters have to show up in that spot in the rest of your guesses), so I had to only use words that had the correct 4th letter. As it turns out, I can't just rattle off all of the words I know that end with certain letters.

Also, I learned contractions and fancy spellings* are not in the word list. I got another surprising word that did work, though:

My first loss, but also my first attempt at hard mode. That second guess was a bad idea, but I really needed more information about what letters I could use.

I agree, I had to break pattern throw in a

The list of slang words with other meanings, or what?

You can tell I'm a software nerd because I had it on my third try.

I started with Aoi's clever first guess, "rates", and followed up with "found" to rule out as many letters as possible.  Then it was the only word that would come to my mind featuring the three yellow letters but none of the gray.  In hindsight, "lemur" would've been possible.

So optimization programs suggest you run ADIEU and then STORY for your first 2 guesses in all cases. This generated a 4 guess win for me, I hadn't played before and saw a discussion on astralcodexten and didn't realize what yellow letters meant. Otherwise it would be an easy 3 turn win. I'd prefer to get an L or N instead of D but I don't think you can given the rules. Would have to do more digging.

Heart (or Earth, same letters) and Lions (or Loins) gets you all but one vowel, and a lot of other letters that show up regularly. You lose U and Y, but that's mattered twice, and the first time the only vowel was U and all the rest were eliminated.

True if you place less emphasis on vowels especially u/y that combination gets you l and n and h which are nice. I might do something like ALIEN and YOURS but that does take away your T. YURTS trades T for O. Maybe TOURS and sacrifice Y.
