Anyone use hard mode?
I do these after midnight, often already in bed, and sometimes after a few adult beverages.

Is this hard mode? ;)

Today was the first day I switched it on to add a challenge because I mostly brute force it.

I may be wrong, but isn't "hard mode" simply requirement that you have to use the revealed green/yellow letters in subsequent guesses? And if it is, isn't it how 99% of people already play the game?

Same with me. In the medium.com article I posted earlier today, it seems that the typical length of convergence to the correct answer should be somewhere between 3 and 4. In that case, I find it hard to believe that wasting one step that you know cannot be the right answer just to try 5 extra letters is the optimal strategy...

I think it helps you avoid missing the word altogether. There was one word where after 3 guesses I still had no clue what it was. My fourth guess was of random letters that I knew couldn’t be the answer but helped me get it with my fifth guess

So "hard mode" basically just prevents you from playing b*tch mode

I assumed based on some recent words there was a British influence and that’s why I went with it before the actual word.
