That was the letter I forgot existed. Once I remembered, I picked the word first guess in the letter. I wonder if it has to do with something happening today? Or just random.

14 for easy. I did 8 variations of the damn word before I got it.
16 for hard. Again, burned a lot at the end narrowing things down.
Bad day for me.

Mathematically, as long as your 17 guesses or lower, you're doing fine.
