I am thinking of using this company's Screen Sharing software. have any of you used it and what is your experience?

I don't know about Mural.
I use AnyDesk with one of my clients. It's pretty easy to use and to configure.
I don't like it with multimon on the target machine because it becomes somewhat painful but i blame multimon for that.

Mural is a bit cumbersome in use (IMO), but it does seem to work.
Used it a few times sharing across people during a meeting.

One of my colleagues prefers Miro over Mural - said it was easier to use and the expanding community provides a rich complement of templates that can be easily dropped onto your board.
I've used Miro (the free version) and have to say, I'm rapidly becoming a fan.
However, the company where I work is trying to force us to to use Microsoft Whiteboard

my company pays for the office 365 so we use teams/whiteboard for almost everything. It works and is fairly secure.
For some personal stuff I have had good luck with the Google offerings as well.

That's what's can be deadly in hard mode. Five possible words, four chances, and it being the fifth one is what happened to me on #282.
|
|
|
|

Iwasnt even playing in hard mode but thought with 4 letters known and in the right locations, I should be able to get it in one or two guesses. Instead, it consumed all my remaining 4 chances and I still didn’t solve the puzzle,
|
|
|
|
|
There are 7 possible choices for the fourth letter - I was lucky and my first try eliminated two of them and my second guess got the other four ... close call!

I was lucky with the second one, and had a spare (with one more word I could think of) when I got it.

Another one that could have ended badly in hard mode if the first two guesses hadn't narrowed it down to four possibilities.

I don't see a disadvantage playing in hard mode, I do this always implicitly.
For me hard mode means all the letters misplaced/correct placed need to be used for the next guess.
Maybe I miss something, maybe I misunderstood hard mode?

It's not that much harder, but my average was 3.7 in standard mode and now maybe 4.3 in hard mode. Coming up with the next guess is harder. I actually play using what is known without doing anything known to be wrong, which is more restrictive.
#282 was FOUND, and after two guesses I figured it was *OUND. The * could have been B, F, H, M, or W (P, R, and S were eliminated). And guess who tried B, H, M, and W first? In this situation in standard mode, you just try a word that contains as many of the candidates as possible, which narrows it down.

May I ask where you play this?
I love these types of games, I found one online, but after the first "practice" game, I am able to solve these pretty easily by using diverse word sets that span the letters available (not guessing the word until it's clear enough from the letters, and willing to waste an entire try with a word that reveals more clues)...
Thanks
