Quite fun, was exploring the options as a first play! Thanks
I retried that same game in another browser and did it with 5 moves remaining using better exchanges, maybe there is an even more efficient way of moving the letters into place even when you know the words! So I like that open ended aspect (well, only tried the one so far).
Seems that 5* (5 remaining) may always be the best possible, ?

It's a list of words, after 2700 odd it will loop around and restart - or they might update the list. Apparently it was vetted to avoid offence to anyone and then later vetted further when a few took offence!

Yes - what I mean is the selection sequential from the list, or random from the list, but with a minimum time between uses.

It is sequential, you can predict tomorrow/next week's choice!

Hmmm, errrr... I maybe wrong since early Oct. NYT may have a little hook in that allows them to change the word/list on the fly if there are a bunch of objections/complaints etc

Could have had it in 2 if I hadn't changed my mind for the a more unusual word, darn it!

Lousy first line but a good line two and an uneducated guess for line three…

Well, a struggle again today. Not enough elimination in the first line, then a mistake in the second.
Threw my toys out of the pram for the third, and a luck guess on the fourth.

Three for me. My second attempt didn't leave many options for the third...

wafflegame.net took 2 tries to do it with maximum 5 moves spare once I knew what the words were. It gives a definition of each word and if you look at the examples of usage they seem pretty insane e.g.
swamp... "I lost the TV remote in a swamp last Thursday"
blaze... "She unicycled home in a blaze of glory" - some sort of AI???
The etymology sections are very interesting though, if you like that sort of thing.

got a max 5 first time by solving all 6 words first without any movements, took a while, and then ponder the shortest way to do the moves...
