If you right off the bat guess "bound" and then positions 2, 3, 4, and 5 all come up green, then your goal needs to then be to use words like 'morse' to rule out (in one fell swoop) words like 'sound', 'mound' and 'round'. Then, if it's not ruled out, you can then choose words that just have m and s, or s and r.

This is a valid strategy in easy (default) mode, but in "hard" mode, you must use all yellow/green letters in subsequent guesses

  Oh, good point. I didn't know that there was a hard mode - I've only played twice.

  This is why hard mode is a less interesting way to play.
