    Game
In summary, the player played the New York Times daily word game and found that they had a higher fail rate in playing against Spanish-speaking humans. They also mentioned that the game is similar to a board game they remember from their childhood.

My point was that the software seems to be using a comma for everyone except me ... unless everybody else inserts a comma by hand.
We are not inserting the comma. In fact, I avoid using the comma as a separator because it causes confusion for Europeans (and South Americans if IIRC).

Evidently the software has been modified for use in your region, but not others. It probably goes back to its origins before the NYT buyout.

Instead I entered a different word for my third guess and only then entered what I thought of first as the fourth guess.
Ahhh... I see. You had a second third guess, not a fourth guess. :biggrin:

Yes. I had to look up my second guess after I made it. I had no idea. :P

I guess that's what you call a very heuristic MO (and yes I know that's putting it in very flattering terms).

Wow. According to Wordlebot, ≈1 in 7 people failed to solve todays puzzle. This is the worst failure rate since I started keeping track of such things.

I can see why. At guess 2 I matched 3 out of 5 letters. Then at guess 3 I was fortunate to find a word that eliminated 4 out of the 5 remaining possibilities.

I strongly suspect many people playing do not have the idea of making a purely informational guess clear. It is in some ways counter intuitive and it may be very tempting to play self imposed hard mode even if that option is not selected.

Today’s word also being particularly vulnerable to hard mode …

A penny for your process (or how the saying goes...). Your third guess intrigues me.

EDIT: I'm being rhetorical.

Then it must be my labyrinthine "heuristic" MO which saves me. :)

EDIT: Oh, and by labyrinthine I mean "meanderingly chaotic".

I will reconstruct and post the process after 48 hrs to make sure that I don't spoil today's puzzle for anyone.

You may deposit your penny, in bitcoin of course, in my Nigerian prince account. I will send details by PM.

We can do better. You give me your account number and your bank's routing number and I will point out which numbers in yours match mine in the same place until you get them all. I will give you as many guesses as you need. :oldsmile:
