You did very well considering you only had one correctly placed on the second go

First green in second attempt filtered a lot for me. Plus the two yellows were meant to be together. I just needed 2 more letters and I was lucky I guess.

Luck does play a large part in this ... strange when you consider that it's very much a deterministic game!

Game is deterministic, human brain is not.

Has anyone been trying the "hard mode"?

The Windows 11 "taskbar" is disgusting. It should be at the left of the screen, with real icons, with text, progress, etc. They downgraded my developer PC to a bloody iPhone.

Yes. Not that I needed to enforce it since I was always playing that way.

Where was the clue for mixed - and I think you are thinking of scrambled gegs

No. The classic clue I was referencing (and I can't find a reference right now) was gegs (9,4).

Reminds me of a similar joke that tickled the ol' funny bone.
An old lady offers the bus driver some peanutsβ¦
so the driver happily munches them. Every 5 minutes she gives him a handful more peanuts..
Driver: Why donβt you eat them yourself?
Old lady: I canβt chew. Look, I have no teeth..
Driver: Then why do you buy them?
Old lady: Oh, I just love the chocolates around them!
I just suck the chocolate off them!!!

For fun, decided to play with Windows sandbox. Activated it in settings. My monitors became unified, instead of a 'second screen.' Went into display settings and my primary and secondary screen were listed as "1 | 2", and there were three more screens listed as Intel hardware screens (or something like that). That was even without a sandbox running.
Didn't find any way to unlink 1 and 2, so played with it a bit and gave up. Deactivated sandbox and screens went back to normal. Looked on the web and found a thing about going back to a previous driver. Still felt like playing, so went back to original Acer Intel driver (7 years old), and after reactivating sandbox, everything worked. But there were strange glitches playing videos, especially on YouTube, but could usually get things back by various easy actions, like hitting play again.
Of course, MS decided to re-update the driver, so my system went back to 1 and 2 being locked in sync, displaying the same screen!
Sometimes you win some, sometimes you lose some. You would think that after thirty years of engineering effort Microsoft would have things like this sorted out. You would be wrong!
