Five possible words, four chances. I didn't get it once again.

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!

What do you mean hard mode ?

Using my misses, I was down to 3 choices for position 4. Lucked in to hit it first time.

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

I have a job. I know the devil I work for, and it's not really bad, just dull, boring, broken promises, management that is interested in coin rather than dragon slaying adventures, and if there are adventures, one is given rusty swords, rotting armor, no share in the loot and leveling up is just not going to happen. So the usual.
Looking at what's out there, it's pretty much the same dungeons, the same monsters, the same jarls and kings, the same materialistic gods that everyone prays to.
I'm an anachronism. I miss the days of startup companies doing crazy stuff that are looking for crazy people like me. I want to work for/with someone that is sailing past "there be dragons here." I'm hopeless in what I want, and I'm hopeless in what I'll find.

You need to write software for a drug cartel or an international crime syndicate. I'm sure you will find adventure there.

I used to do contract work for a company in the adult...
That was actually quite fun. Hardware, software, soft-wear, etc.

I'm afraid it's the New World Order.
On the way to the altar of riches the path must be smooth, without risk or adventure.
I miss the days of leading an R&D group, given time and resources to create.
