It’s true you can get into a hole, but there are strategies that help, like the one the person you’re replying to mentioned. It also helps to get a sense for what kinds of words wordle uses (e.g. no plurals). That being said, it’s the possibility of losing that makes it exciting!

I’ve played 113 times on hard mode and only lost once so far, guessing between two possibilities on the sixth word.

For a while now I’ve just been starting with the previous day’s word to mix things up, rather than trying to use the most optimal starters.
