I guess I forgot to play yesterday and ended my 76 game win streak, which started because I forgot to play ending a 72 game win streak. I think I'm done.

I saw this thread got bumped and figured it had to be an ISU related word today. Completely threw me off. Thanks *******.

Agree tricky today, lucky guess got it in four. Honked off because I forgot to play a couple days ago and blew my 160 day streak. Not sure I'm all that interested in keeping up long streaks anymore.

In 3 today, mom was the same. Hardest one we can remember. Hard mode made it easier.

It’s the ones like today’s that really piss me off. Four letters, all in the right spots by my third guess, and the guessing game begins. Streak over.

Same, except I got lucky on the last chance. :)
What's everyone's best winning streak? I'm currently at 226.
I had around 150, but we took a trip and the internet was really spotty so I wasn't able to do it. :(

I was at over 400 until a few weeks ago; went to a bachelorette party and realized on day 3 that I had forgotten to the previous day. Pretty big bummer, honestly.

I was lucky enough to get four letters all in the right spots on the second guess. I needed that because it still took me all six guesses.

For yesterday's, I got it in four. I got a bit lucky finding out after guess #3 that the "I" was the last letter, and there just aren't that many words that end in I.

My strategy is to use as many letters as possible in my first 4 guesses (if necessary) so that I'm never stuck with the multiple options scenario. I have four words that use up 20 letters. It has only failed once in the last ~380 games, and I rarely need the 6th guess.
