Wordle as a metaphor for life: You can learn a lot about different ways to see the world from different ways to play the game.
For one thing, there is easy mode, and there is hard mode. You switch between them by toggling a setting. The difference is that in hard mode, you have to incorporate the letters you've already gotten into your next guess, so that every guess could plausibly be right, based on what you know.
But of course, you can choose to play in hard mode without switching the game to hard mode. You can play in hard mode on thewill know you played on hard mode.will know you carefully incorporated each piece of information into your next guess. As often happens in life, you are presented with a choice between telling everyone that you overcame an obstacle and smugly knowing and keeping to yourself the delicious knowledge that you overcame an obstacle.
There is also the matter of risk. The disadvantage of playing on easy mode is that if you make that leap from RENTS to BALMY with the information that the final word contains an R, you know that BALMY is not the final answer. You are knowinglyyour opportunity to get the prized notification that you got the answer right in only two guesses, which is the smallest number that incorporates any skill.
And do you think you need a method, a trick, a hack, a secret strategy? I am strangely preoccupied with last letters, myself. Once I have a sense of where one letter might be, it's surprising how often the possibleletters begin to contract in number. But in all likelihood, this is no better as a solution strategy than anything else; I just like it. Because it's. And I've been Wordling for about ... two weeks. So clearly, I have massive experience to draw from.
All I'm saying is this: Your approach to this word game is critically important. Just critically important. At least that's what I tell myself when I wake up with insomnia at 4:30 in the morning and think,"Ooh, I can play Wordle!"
