Chose the wrong two.

Have to say that I'm finding people regularly posting two and threes very suspicious.

PLEASE DO NOT READ THIS IF YOU HAVEN'T COMPLETED 230

Not sure why you should think that because I really don't see what is to gain by people cheating. Success can and does really hinge on what you get early doors. 

My record, in its entirety, is:

1 - 0
2 - 1
3 - 3
4 - 3
5 - 3
6 - 1

However, the last three days have been my most successful ones (3 -2 - 3) for the reasons given below.

Wordle 230 3/6

⬜⬜⬜⬜⬜

I have tended to use same starting word - SWORD (can't think what caused me to use that!)

As you can see that gave me nothing first up. So I had to use a completely different word and I chose PLAIN. The first two letters were correct and in the right place and the "A" was a correct letter but in the wrong place. Realistically, the word wasn't going to end in an "A" so the word was likely to be P L ? A ?. The word that immediately came to mind was the correct one - P L E A T. That said, I'm not sure that there are that many words that would fit anyway! 

Wordle 229 2/6

🟩⬜⬜🟩🟩

🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩

Again, for 229, I started with SWORD. That gave me S ? ? R D. I was correct with my second attempt but that was more down to the first try limiting the options available

Wordle 228 3/6

🟨⬜🟨⬜⬜

⬜🟩🟩🟩⬜

🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩

SWORD gave me "S" and "O" - both in the wrong place. My second attempt was N O I S E and that gave me ? O I S ?. There won't many combinations of letters, in excluding W R D N E, that I could think of that would actually fit apart from M O I S T  

My earlier attempts when using SWORD weren't as successful and I suspect that, if I continue to use it, I will return to having to make more guesses. I might change it at some point but I wouldn't want to start with a word that has more than one vowel because that won't limit the options so far as later guesses are concerned i.e. any number of words will have, say, both an "A" and an "E" in them

I use TEARS as my starting word and haven't ever needed more than 3 guesses per word in the week or so I've been playing.
