1. I used to play a version of this game my dad taught me where we would guess each other's 5 letter words, he always told me the game was called lotto
2. This is easier than mastermind b/c you are told which letter is in the right vs wrong place, vs lotto/mastermind where you are just told how many are in right vs wrong spot
3. As long as you're being efficient w/ each guess (not reusing wrong letters etc) I think there's a decent amount of luck in terms of how quick you get the answer
4. My strategy w/ wordle is to start with a 3 vowel word like agile or radio, bound to give you a good start one way or another. Then after that I only submit valid guesses and if multiple options, use the most common letters as possible
