But this is what makes it easier. Narrows my focus. Otherwise I tend to push it to the fifth or sixth guess.

Turns out "hard mode" is the way I've played all along. Using the letters you've already correctly guessed seems like common sense to me. It wasn't until a stupid NPR think piece I read this morning that it occured to me that some people might not do that.

Yeah same here. Played on hard mode even before I knew it existed.

My think piece would be about how it owes its immense popularity to its piecemeal delivery system; you cannot just keep playing to quench your thirst; no, you have to wait until tomorrow to play again, just salivating all over the place, thinking about how you did in the last one and strategizing for the next one.
I remember I was in Miami when it happened. I was posting from the balcony of my apartment overlooking the beach. And I was having an argument with Adamdude.
