What word do you guys start with? I always go with microphone.
I always start with "man"

That was the letter I forgot existed. Once I remembered, I picked the word first guess in the letter. I wonder if it has to do with something happening today? Or just random.

That is funny. You could totally start an internet conspiracy theory with that line of thinking.

14 for easy. I did 8 variations of the damn word before I got it.
16 for hard. Again, burned a lot at the end narrowing things down.
Bad day for me.

20
10 - I can almost read this with my glasses off and pressed up to the screen.

Cheater!
I honestly was thisclose to googling, but got distracted and once I returned my fresh mind was able to think of more words.

Hard - 17 guesses, 7 minutes.
WTF, today. Brain not on good.

I should start doing these when I don't have an empty stomach. Make sure the neurons have juice to fire.

Mathematically, as long as your 17 guesses or lower, you're doing fine.

Cuz 2^18 = 262,144 and there are about 250,000 words in the dictionary, iirc.
