2. Not a regular Wordle player, but I gave it a shot.

Got it on the 6th, on a coin toss-ish guess for the last letter.

Used 15 unique letters on the first 3 tries, only got two yellows.
Took a shot based on those 2 letters, and the premise it was a hard puzzle, and got 4 greens.
But that left by my count 6 unused letters which could have made a real word in that blank spot, and only two guesses...
I'm not super aware of the wordle word bank but I know it is much more constrained than a Scrabble dictionary, so I tossed one out as too esoteric, leaving 5.
Guessed a word containing 3 of those 5. No hits.
That left two, an adjective and a noun. Went with the adjective, for reasons. Success. Just barely.
