Wordle uses a repeat word about every 4 weeks from what I have determined.

I've kept my own Wordle records since 2022 when I started. Every day I add the answers to a Google docs file that is searchable. It's an extension of my work career where being meticulous mattered. Plus, I am in my 70s and memory is not what it used to be. So no, not cheating.

Solved in 2. I got 3 letters on my first elimination word and saw the possibility of a difficult word, so I played the hunch. Wordle 1,938 2/6 ⬜🟨⬜🟨🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩

Yes, it feels great to get a Monday morning 3. Eliminations gave me a few choices, but this word stood above all others as the answer today. Play the hunch when it appears obvious. Wordle 1,934 3/6 ⬜🟩⬜⬜⬜ 🟨⬜⬜⬜⬜ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩

Followed your lead & ended up with a nice 4 on word that was difficult to derive for many. Elimination & logic usually get the job done. Wordle 1,932 4/6 ⬜⬜⬜⬜⬜ ⬜⬜⬜⬜🟩 ⬜🟩⬜⬜🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩

A TGIF 3 is always welcome. Letter placement in elimination rounds left me with only 1 word that had not been previously used. Wordle 1,931 3/6 ⬜🟨⬜⬜⬜ 🟨⬜⬜🟨⬜ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩

A bounce back 3. Eliminations left me with this as the only word that has not been used. Yesterday, I had over 15 words with too many unique letter combinations and simply forgot to try a double letter. Wordle 1,930 3/6 ⬜⬜⬜⬜🟨 ⬜⬜🟨🟨⬜ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩

A methodical 4 again. I knew this was a legit word but had long forgotten the meaning or context. It's challenging to have an obscure word (at least to some) now and again. Just not every day. Wordle 1,924 4/6 ⬜⬜⬜🟨⬜ 🟨⬜🟨⬜⬜ ⬜🟩⬜🟩🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩

A 5 on a most challenging Monday Wordle. Far too many options, even after trying to eliminate words already used. My notes say that I had 2 busts on similar starting letters in the past, so no surprise for many unsatisfying results today. Wordle 1,920 5/6 ⬜⬜🟨⬜⬜ ⬜⬜⬜🟩🟩 🟩🟩⬜🟩🟩 🟩🟩⬜🟩🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩

A 3 by winging it today. After the 1st guess, I changed my approach and quickly came to the answer at 3 using logic. While not expected, it is a word frequently used in crosswords and by many various nerdy communities. Wordle 1,916 3/6 🟨⬜⬜⬜🟨 ⬜⬜🟩🟨🟨 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩

A 4 after eliminations pointed directly at the Wordle make-up giving me 2 choices; of course, I picked the wrong one and ended up with a 4 instead of an easy 3. That's why we play this game. Wordle 1,909 4/6 ⬜🟩⬜⬜⬜ ⬜⬜🟨⬜⬜ ⬜🟩🟩🟩🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩

A 2 on consecutive days. It happened back in July as well. Better play or more luck? A bit of both because if I had flipped my 2 start words, I would have had no hits on the first try and ended up with a still very good 3. Planet Fitness, & coffee really helps. Wordle 1,908 2/6 🟨⬜🟨🟩🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩

A rare 2. I ditched my 2nd starter word to go right to a guess and it worked today. I've used this word a lot, so not a surprise for me. It may be more familiar in certain regions. Wordle 1,904 2/6 🟩🟩⬜⬜⬜ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩
