Usually I can solve a Wordle in a few minutes, but sometimes it takes a really long time, like 20 minutes if I don't give up. Two days ago I started playing during the last few minutes of the NBA game and didn't get the right answer until after the game was over. It took me 20 minutes and in the process I entered a word I didn't know about but that was in the dictionary. The correct word was a word I knew about but that was quite different from other words, including the one I guessed just by iterating through possible words.

I still got it though. Those ones that rhyme with other words, especially if I blow through some of my guesses before finding most of the letters, are quick to answer but are typically the ones where I lose.

I think that it’s within appropriate etiquette if you reveal a past answer. I remember learning a couple new words on the way to VOUCH from _OUCH (MOUCH and LOUCH to be precise).
