I started keeping a spreadsheet of my Wordle stats because browser kept resetting (deleting cookies maybe, I may have set it that way). So NYT would start my stats over! Now I just update the spreadsheet.
My friend pointed out to me recently that I needed to go to the gear icon and select "hard" for the difficulty level. I did that. I don't find it harder, just peskier.
Wordle has been around a long time as a two-person game with pen and paper, each taking turns guessing the word chosen by the other one.
Rasbury - Late response, but I recall this paper version very well. It was called Jotto, or that's what my sister and I called it. We used to play it in the backseat on long car rides. I think it was my first fun exercise in deductive reasoning.

I've adopted the practice of using "yesterday's" word for my first word "today." That essentially eliminates my chance of ever getting a "One." It also has me using weird, unfortunate words as my first word. So I'm probably giving up perhaps a turn-and-a-half every day. I get skunked every now and again, but my streaks are usually in the low hundreds.
