Couldn't find a new thread for this so here we go - another round of the most frustrating word game ever!

Enormous luck 😉

So. Bad.

My husband and I have started a friendly competition each morning. I usually beat him on time (by a lot!), while he often gets it in fewer guesses. Naturally, he therefore claims he's won. 😂

So what do you think, Alphaguessers: which is more important, speed or number of guesses?

I thought I was going to be a 50 guesser.

@NotISaidTheCat if it’s a race, then you have.

Good question though. What’s the key performance indicator? I’d say number of guesses.

NotISaidTheCat · 18/02/2025 14:17

Thanks, @WingBingo! Hmm, I feel like it should be a mix of both, probably? Like, 16 guesses in 30 seconds feels better to me than 14 guesses in 5 minutes -- but if the times were closer, then the number of guesses should win. LOL, we need an algorithm!

(Not that I'm telling dh any of this -- I'm faster, so I win, the end. 😉)

Completely forgotten about the words that begin with today's first two letters.
