Β 

depends on if you are Dark Theme or not. I use the dark theme and reason why mine are black squares

It's not officially hosted on the NYT site. I actually had one extra guess than this but it ate my progress from this morning when the hosting shifted over and I can't for the life of me remember what my second guess was.

No idea what pucer is. I was mostly just looking at letters trying to make sense of where the letters should go and randomly hit enter on a whim. I'm not convinced it's a real word.

As a side note I read an article that said acorn was the best starting word but it didn't really come through for me today. (or maybe it did πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ )

I read an article that linked to a reddit thread where math nerds determined the best starting word, based on all the five letter words within the database is AROSE, and I've been using that a lot.Β

I also watched this video for extra math nerdness

Didn't realize Hard Mode had turned off until I inadvertently broke it with my second guess.

Β 

I'm slowly going through it right now, so indeed, no * for me today. Hope I remember to turn it on tomorrow.

I've never used it because there are more consonants than there are vowels, and the ways vowels anchor words make them much easier to guess. If the word was 'grape', gr_p_ is much easier to fill in than __a_e.

Β 

To go into this even further, think about the possible solutions for each:

Β 

gr_p_ - You can safely assume 'e' is at the end given the structure of the word; from there you only have to pick between 'grape', 'grope', and 'gripe'.

Β 

__a_e - Could be tons of words! 'Grape', 'crane', 'frame', 'trade', 'grade', 'brake', 'craze', 'chafe', 'phase', 'shale', 'whale', 'drape', 'shade', 'shame', 'shape', probably even more I'm not thinking of.Β 

Β 

You don't want to focus exclusively on either vowels or consonants, and when considering the balance you have to take into consideration that vowels will provide much more in the way of context clues.

Β 

Should the bolded be consonants?

Β 

No, because I meant context in terms of application (see my previous example). The rules governing vowels are more narrow than they are for consonants, so contextually they will be easier to plug in to complete a word.

I didn't realize hard mode was randomly disabled on me.

My second guess was worthless. Hard mode would have caught me, but I didn't notice it until after I hit enter.
