Probably the best option playing beach I also struggle with repeat letters as I tend to not think of them |

I wouldn’t be able to try BEACH as I play in the mode that doesn’t allow you not to use letters you’ve already got.

I don’t play in Dio’s Hard Mode, but I always guess as if I was in Hard Mode. I know that stops me from being able to play a potentially useful eliminator guess like BEACH, but I suppose that I just like the idea that any guess could be a possible winner. Every now and then, I make a mistake and put a letter which was marked as orange in the same position as in a previous guess, so it’s not perfect! Guess I should probably just engage Hard Mode … |

I tend to play as though I'm in hard mode too. Though that might be because I play as soon as I wake up so my sleepy brain can't cope with clever strategic elimination words.

I always play hard mode but sometimes wish it would remind me not to use letters that are already eliminated, as a quid pro quo for forcing me to re-use letters that are hits!

I don’t know what hard mode is? I like to do it in under a minute when I first wake up, so don’t need anything making it more complicated! |

In settings, Fields, cogged-wheel looking symbol... "Hard Mode Any revealed hints must be used in subsequent guesses" |

Any pasted results grid with an * next to the puzzle number / score = completed in hard mode.

Aha; Is that what the asterisk means? I thought it meant Not Out (ie you’ve never failed a wordle) |

Interesting discussion. The first letter could be B C H P T, so if you are in hard mode you could get it in 2,3,4,5 or 6 goes, depending on your luck. Using BATCH will get it in 3 definitely, but not 2. It's a matter of preference for how you want to play. Playing hard gives you an average of 4, not hard 3. |
