re: #409 steve_davis
i just try to solve. there’s nothing about the game that suggests you get any additional reward for solving faster, which is mostly blind luck anyway. My stats indicate I most often solve in 5, a bit less frequently in 4.
I’m a habitual four banger. I’ll get it in 3 if my second guess gives me a good position letter or two.
First word: random guess
Second (assuming a letter or two): educated guess
Third: first attempt to solve
Fourth: usually have it
Fifth : WTF was I thinking?
Sixth: I should have had coffee first.
