I find myself just typing random combinations of the letters that sound vaguely English because the game's vocabulary is much larger than mine. For example I got "minge" which is apparently British slang for vagina but I've never heard of it.

Anyway, that random guessing component mostly ruins the game. In Wordle at least your random guesses have consequences or can lead you closer to the right answer (which is usually a more common word)

Thanks for the feedback!

The hidden words are hand selected from a smaller vocabulary list to make the game is solvable without having to guess.

Then if you find a more obscure word that is valid in the dictionary it is counted as a bonus word and can further help you solve the hidden words based on it's position.
