That the middle three popped up on my second word was especially gratifying. The yellow was a different letter and there weren't many optinos for the last letter I could think of, so I managed a three today. Lovely!

By the way, I've started to adjust my strategy a bit. If my first guess gives me enough letters to narrow it down, I'm starting to try to find the answer right away instead of trying a second, completely new word. I'm not worried about missing the answer in those cases. If the first word doesn't give me much, I'll try a completely different second word. 

We'll see if this bites me later when I get overconfident, and it's a tough word. But I've been able to get a couple of them in 2 now, and I haven't had to stress over any when I get enough with the first word.

Generally speaking this is fine, but when it can bite you is if you get a word like HALLS. If you have the ALLS and not the fifth letter, it could be BALLS, CALLS, FALLS, HALLS, MALLS, WALLS which is very hard to get if you're guessing one letter at a time. If you guessed BEACH as a different word, it picks off three of those possibilities in one go. 

I haven't seen anything like this in wordle, but in the other one that I linked earlier I see these frequently and it's usually why I lose.

I would have this problem either way with words like that. My first word tends to be something like raise, astir, adieu, and then my second word is something like cough or laugh. I guess we're relying on the creator not being too spiteful with all these strategies.

My new policy is to start with LATER, then do COINS, and then if I don't have much to go on I do PUDGY. That gives me 15 different letters, including I think most of the most common ones. I believe LATER and COINS cover the ten most common letters. After that it's do what I can

Got lucky with my first two words, which made solving today's puzzle easy. My strategy is to put in words with common letters and if possible no overlap between them on the first 2 or 3 tries to discover as many letters as possible, and then work out the rest from there.

    • Good advice.  When you see a golfer taking short steps, looking down at the ground, it's probably checking for temporary water.  There are plenty of cases were just hitting it from the bad lie is better than where you would drop it. Like hitting of a cart path.   
    • Yea I find it ridiculous people having an issue that he could drop in the fairway. Every relief situation is its own instance. You re-assess after a drop. Sometimes the drop is in your favor or not.  Too many scramble only golfers commenting on golf rulings. Usually scrambles you need to maintain the same lie if you hit with in a club length of the ball. 😉  
    • MSN J. J. Spaun relief from sprinkler head under fire for not being in the spirit of the game. While I understand the advantage he gains by dropping a ball that ended up in rough in the fairway doesn't seem to kosher in lot of people's eyes, but I suspect this happens more often than lot of people realize and players take the entitled relief every time when the opportunity present itself. Not fair to call him out as a person of 'no integrity' IMO.  A lot of people do not know that both fairway and rough are part of the same general area and ROG does not distinguish them as far as relief is concerned.
    • Jack played in 7 tournaments in 1986. He was on his way out. He was not training or trying to be the best in the world. Honestly, he just caught some good golf at the right time.  Who says Jack wasn't battling injuries at that time either? A lot of stuff wasn't reported on until post 2000 in terms of covering athletes.  At what capacity? He can play, but he can't compete at any sort of level for the PGA or Senior Tour.  Yes, most of them walk away.
