Do you look up lists of five letter words on the internet?
Coming up with six five letter words from the top of my head seems to be my greatest challenge in life yet (well, after the CCC)

So now you like documentation!

Ravi says[^] that Wordle actually has two word lists that he also used in his version. I haven't searched for them, but they must be posted somewhere. What puzzles me is that when I play Ravi's version in hard mode, many words ending in -s or -ed aren't on the list and therefore can't be used as guesses. But when I play hard mode online, those words are acceptable. I assume they do this so that the daily word can be the same in both standard and hard mode.

In Hard mode, Wordle Anytime[^] only accepts guesses that are in the list of actual Wordle words. In Standard mode, it also accepts words in the secondary list of allowed guesses. In Easy mode, it lets you enter any combination of 5 letters.

 Thanks for the explanation.

I don’t.
I try to recall words from my memory.
That is the challenge of Wordle.
|
|
|
|
|
I guess you'll get better after a few days, already got my combined words from two days + the winning words, which makes three words in total

My procedure:
a.) I'm going for a smoke and think of a starting word
b.) After entering the start word and depending on the number of hits, I go back smoking
All in all, wordl is an unhealthy game for me

Actually... 'smoke' is a decent starting word. It's in the 'top 100' list.

 Never tried it, thanks so much. Now I have a healthy start for tomorrow, no need to go for a smoke first

I always start with the same word. I don't know if it's good or bad, but it saves me having to think it through! 
And, in answer to the original post about word lists: The Wordle list is in your browser. Wordle is written in JavaScript and includes all the words - there's no server side stuff. I've never used it, but I did on one occasion, (when on my last go - with no 'real' word options), resort to Googling different combinations until I hit a real word.
Today's was an 'interesting' one - got it in four without cheating.

I also thought about that, but it's not an option for me.
The reason why I'm doing this game is to give my brain some tasks to keep alive with other stuff than programming and mabye to learn then and when a new word.
I'm cheating in a way while using Englisch ⇔ Deutsch Wörterbuch - leo.org: Startseite[^] to cross check, because I'm not native English.

Interesting...

There's, very usefully, a colour-blind setting.

Going, smoke, drink, after, start...

Heck no. What would be the fun in that?
I've a working theory that if you play where your next guess always uses the letters you know are in the Wordle and never has letters you know are not, then you should be able to guess the word in 5 guesses or less. If not, the word probably isn't in your vocabulary, or it's a very obscure word.
If you think 'goto' is evil, try writing an Assembly program without JMP.

Easier said than done!
Yesterday I found myself at my last chance with the letters "FOU" and I wouldn't have guessed the word for the life of me.
I looked up all words starting with FOU and of course it was FOUND, a word that's very much in my vocabulary and not at all obscure

Our cat in India knows nothing called Daylight savings. Take your cat to such a place where no daylight savings is done.
