Really interesting (to me at least) article from Twitter's engineeering team, analysing the virality of Wordle as well as how people performed at different words...

A whistle-stop 3 today, and that was after going off-menu and using a different first word which resulted in five greys.
My second guess was my usual first word, which yielded three yellows and then BOOM straight in next with five greens.
Stats so far: 4*3, 12*4 and 3*5 for an average of 3.31...
Yeah, not sure what that's all about.
What I did was...
1. Share on Wordle site.
2. Paste it here (where it looked OK in the post composer)
3. Screengrab that part of the screen.
4. Attach the image of the screengrab to my post.
This is all on desktop (Mac). I guess it may work correctly on...
Quite a lot of drink was taken yesterday evening, so I think I started it before midnight and finished it after which has thrown it. Looks like I won't get to see today's.
Oh - it's still showing for me today.
I may have started it before midnight - it was open on my laptop when I opened it this morning. The countdown says I don't get another one until midnight.
That might explain my stats which make it look like I missed a day...
My tries below in white (highlight with your mouse or hit reply to see them. Don't quote them back though cos spoilers)...
TRIED
GLIDE
CHIDE
OXIDE
ASIDE
I guess there's no reason, but it hadn't happened before today since I started playing.
I couldn't see how today's could be anything other than a double letter, so just went for it, and snagged my second 3 (now 2*3 and 3*4).
