This was close, but I got it in 4:
🟨⬜⬜🟩🟨
🟨🟩🟩🟩⬜
🟩⬜🟨⬜⬜
🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩
⬜⬜⬜⬜⬜
⬜⬜⬜⬜⬜ After the second guess, I have four letters I know the position of ... so one to go. Trouble is, I can think of nine words that it could be, all with a different first letter ... Thankfully, I found a word that uses four of the possibles, and was lucky that one of them was in there (the Green in row three - the yellow was Green in row one).
That was nasty - it probably depends on the first word selection, but be careful with this one!

I got the last four letters in three guesses, but there were too many possibilities for the first. That's my run broken.

Hint: CLEWS1 is a word ... it tried 4 possible words out of 9 for me - and gave me the solution, luckily. If it hadn't, then OGHAM2 would have reduced that by another three, leaving a solution or 2 possibles with two gaps.
1 - A metal loop on the bottom corner of a sail
2 - An ancient British / Irish alphabet

I didn't know there were any ... I work with the words I know!
I just googled and there are quite a few of 'em, aren't there?

Yep. I will spare you the smart-arsed response from some of my fellow cave enthusiasts.

You obviously aren't playing in hard mode.

Nope - that reduces it to total guess work - when you have 4 green, 3 plays left, and 9 possible words it might be you need "wrong words" to eliminate multiple options in a single row.
Like last week when I had ?ATCH in three tries, with BATCH, CATCH, GATCH, HATCH, MATCH, and WATCH as possibles. I don't like games that are only about getting lucky!

Then you would like my list of 4 words that cover 20 different letters (19 of the top 20 I think).
In the last couple of days my starting word has had 4 of the letters to start.
But you are correct, hard mode makes it guess work at times, like today when I guessed wrong, 5 times.

Not necessarily - I have a couple of "starter" words which give me a "leg up": "TINEA" and "AEROS"/"AROSE". One of those generally gives me a good idea of at least one vowel, and one of the "common" consonants. And vowel position controls the "structure" of the word, which helps: if it has a vowel in 3, then 1 is probably 's', 't', or 'p', followed by an 'h' for example.

I used your "AEROS" as my starter word early this morning. My second lucky pick was 'VIDEO' which gave me everything but the 'M'. Was the first time I solved it in 3
