As an example of why this game is so easy (even in hard mode)...today's wordle:
Spoiler!
I started with STARE, which gave me T and R in the wrong positions
Then i went with TRUCK and then WRIST (which was an inefficient guess because it didn't give me new info about the 'R').
Despite that, at this point, I had the T placed, narrowed R location to 2 spots, and eliminated all vowels except O and Y.
With S eliminated, it was pretty clear that there had to be a repeat vowel and it had to be O.
At that point, the options were very limited and it was very quick/easy to lock down on ROBOT.
Today I think was an odd anomaly. As I mentioned above, the key was knowing you could use the same letter twice. I don't know how much time the game owner invests in choosing words - there is some variance in terms of daily difficulty.
Also, I think that one or two is basically lucky, three is really good, four is above average, and five is about average. So no one is building you any monuments for getting it in four.
Long story short - don't yuck our yum.
