This game may be tougher.  First time I played I got 0 (some connections are little too opaque).  Today was perfect:

0 6’s is impressive 

You have 43 6’s which is almost 10% of your scores.  I don’t remember that many 6 scores from you. 

Just below 4.0, though that's not counting the 4(?) misses I've had.

I’ve played a long time and I struggled some early and also haven’t failed since like the 20th time I ever played…..I’ve had a lot of 6’s though. Anytime there is a “rerun” or “slyly” or word like that it just asks for it and then there are a lot of words out there that are easy 3s or 4s unless you have the wrong letters and it gets to be a bad guessing nightmare.

stare, stake, stage, stale, stave, state…many many examples of these types where you might have 4 in the right place after your 2nd guess but have 5 possible still….the killer words usually take me 5, but the bad luck of guessing has been most of my 6’s

Anything over a 4 seems to require some bad luck guessing.

Personally, I'd like to see them expand the dictionary, at least a little, and tip you when a letter you've guessed appears more than once.

1 word left after my 2nd guess.  Up yours Wordle this shouldn't be a guessing game about what's in your dictionary.

How was there only 1 word left after 2nd guess and you took 2 more guesses?

My dictionary is bigger than Wordle's.

Well later on post your first two guesses and let’s take a look

But also….you said after 2 guesses there was only one word left, if wordle had 2 words left wouldn’t their vocabulary be bigger?

It's pretty simple.  Wordle's dictionary contains only about 2500 5-letter words, but accepts many of the 7500 other 5-letter words not in its dictionary as answers.

Good one today.  I like this game

Oh, today I did re-use a missed letter on my 3rd guess (the UI is abysmal playing on my phone).

Bummer
