How long did you have to look at it? Or was it one that was 'just there' rather quickly?

I had to look at it for a bit to come up with the third try.

Never seen that before. I never use any aids but I do appreciate that you always post the proposed scores. I just wing it, I try to solve some five other puzzles before I get to this one and I play another afterward too. Gets my brain working, too early to go with anything but the simplest of strategies. I do, somehow, manage to make coffee before any attempt at puzzles most days.

I do the puzzles in a sequence for some reason. Once I post Wordle results I move on to this one...

https://combinations.org/

It's probably my favorite. If you've never tried it, you'll probably like it a lot. I do recommend opening settings and disabling the sound first, I find them annoying.

it looks like fun. I do my word games in sequence too. Wordle, Connections, Strands, Blossom and SpellBee. Will add Combinations. My sister and I text our results everyday .

Even using a database, there's still strategy involved with eliminating possibilities and determining which word to try next.

It's a screen shot from a "Holderness Family" reel. They're a couple that posts these skits that they come up with.
It is a short scene of Kim Holderness playing Wordle. My jaw about dropped when I saw the starter word:
