You are doing it wrong. If you have four yellows in the first, look for a word incorporating a maximum of two of these as a second. You need both info about the fifth letter and placement info about the important ones of the four.

You have to stop guessing and get methodical.

**Crammage** · 4th February 2022, 08:08

4 today, could have had it earlier with last 3 in place after 2.

**Craizeehair** · 4th February 2022, 08:10

4 today but my first fail yesterday, still not happy about that!

Saw a video earlier with 5 words covering 25 of the 26 letters of the alphabet. So basically guaranteed to win on the 6th, but does take the fun away from it.

**dkpw** · 4th February 2022, 11:51

A three also, which seems to be the average for today.

Not quite, given the possibility to have double letters.

Imagine after five tries you have arrived at the conclusion that your word only features the following three letters: E, S, T

How many possibilities still, given you will have only little information about the placement of the three letters and none about which two of them would feature double (or even triple)?

Second line went for it, then became slightly more sensible on line three to try to elimate letters which meant there was only one winner come line four. (I read one or two comments on this thread first which kind of let me know this was one of those with multiple possibles)

**crazyp** · 4th February 2022, 13:03

One of my favourite finishes. Only one letter after two....

Alright clever clogs! It worked on the few times I tried it, so clearly needed to think it through a bit more.

ETA

Playing the archives, just lost and when i saw the word SISSY, went back and did the 5 words.

I have a Y in the correct place, I know there is an S and an I but not where with only one guess left.

Rubbish video!

**Jon Kenney** · 4th February 2022, 17:11

A modicum of luck involved today...

**andy tims** · 4th February 2022, 19:14

First time it took me 5 today on the live game but I've not been playing long.

I have also found this archive site

See Post #222. Not sure what else it could be with the letters identified (and a potential 'X').

I can only come up with STETS and TESTS, and the position of the E in GLENT would give away which was correct. I don't think there are many five letter words that you couldn't guarantee getting in six using the words with unique letters technique. Dunno about in German.

SETTS

Anyway, the E, T and S was just a try as these are very common letters. There might be other three letter combinations with more solutions...

I was being very sloppy/lazy with guesses 2 and 3 and found myself in a bad spot after attempt 3, could easily come up with ten words that would have still worked. Then I found a very good word to close out most possibilities (basically building around three consonants that I needed to know before I could proceed). After that, I could only think of one single solution and that proved correct.
