For some reason, I appreciate that you're not working towards one specific word from the start but slowly narrowing down the "available words" until one fits.

I didn’t notice any difference either, until I realised that this is actually how I play wordle already. My first 2, normally 3 guesses are just covering the space of likely letters with no repeats.

After trying a few times, I guess you have more agency here than in Wordle since you can choose which way you want your guess to go but I'm not sure I dig it.

My first three guess were XEROX / PUSHY / QUILT every time and that forced words that have A as the only vowels so far. Eventually I might eventually stumble on a word with a Q or U getting generated, but my guess is that will be rather rare.

I can try to force hard words to guess but that just sounds forcing myself to deal with the most frustrating parts of Wordle.
