Can I ask you a personal question about your Wordling @BevVincent ?

BevVincent

Sure

Sure

I know the colour blindness is usually red/green, but is the Wordle clouring affecting you at all? 
I've noticed on a couple of occasions that you've had a tile correct in the first line, then on the next turn the correct letter is not in the same spot, which seems like a step backwards? But perhaps I'm missing a strategy that you're employing?

I think I may have just worked out what you're doing on the 2nd attempt.

Unless there are a lot of hints from the first attempt, I use the second word to nail down the vowels. I know a lot of people don't like that strategy, but it usually works for me.

There is a harder mode where you HAVE to use the letters you learned from the previous guesses, but I don't use that mode.

Ah, I see.  I do that with vowels in the first word and try for frequently used consonants and remaining vowel in the second word. I always keep my correct letters in their space, except for those occasions where I'm either a) sleepy or b) at work and then move them by mistake.

Absolutely! I spent hours coming back to this, was stuck on the second line, my brain just wasn't seeing it. Frustrating tonight.
