KSera Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 Yesterday was my first time, and I felt bad it took me six tries. Today I’m feeling super accomplished because I got it with my second try 😂. Does anyone know if everyone gets the same word? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It launches strategy discussion here daily because all 3 of us are doing it and some discussion out in social media too. And I got it in 3 today too. 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a share option on the screen that pops up after you get the word.

catz Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 I got it in 4 today but from turn 3 to 4 took me FOREVER. I do feel like there is a bit of luck involved with your first turn or 2 and getting hits. I have gotten it in 2 but that was a lucky hit on turn 1. I have gotten it in 3 a number of times, also some luck involved! I do try to hit a bunch of vowels and more common letters those first couple turns. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
