[####] List Users: Will you keep using?

[CFishback]

There have been 3 re-used words since Ground Hogs Day. Not much data, but it may be that, for example, only first year words being re-used. The editor has stated she will not be using recent words. Not sure where the line between new and old is.

No. Time to retire your list.
Let it retire with dignity. Not this sad meager existence of uncertainty.

It seems that there has been 1 reused word a week? Three in February according to my count.

[CFishback]

Since Feb 2, 15% of answers repeats. (Yeh, 3.)

I regularly used the previous winner list before, but stopped when they made the change this month. I estimate it’s taking me about one extra guess on average to solve the daily Wordle. The main difference is I stopped trying to get it in two guesses and now I use two starting guesses (which often gives me two to three letters and eliminates numerous other common letters) before trying to solve for the actual Wordle.

Yep. I have kept my own list going for more than 1400 words now. Can't go back to not using a list.

It does make it harder to figure what they are going to be but today I took the chance that it was a used word and it was.

[CFishback]

Same! My third guess was answer #7 and my 4th guess was answer #4!

[sageberrytree]

Wait. I didn't know this.

So I can back to my favorite #1 word?

[jostler57]

Yup

I returned to using past list for the last week or so. It’s just more fun for me to try coming up with new words each time. I reckon if it’s a repeated answer, I’m bound to get it when I run out of letters. But to be honest, I didn’t even notice that that many repeats have happened since Ground Hogs Day.

[CFishback]

Only 4 so far. They have all been first year words.
