It won't let you enter incorrect words.

I've seen some attempts on here where people have correct letters in correct position, but don't keep those letters in place in their next word. That makes little sense to me.

There are 2 modes in the game, if you turn on 'Hard Mode' from the settings you have to play all known letters in subsequent attempts. It does ramp up the difficulty a notch.

If you don't use the letters that you already know, it gives you more chance of getting the missing letters.

And less (zero) chance of getting the word with the guess.

if for instance you know PLAN_
there are four options to guess for PLANE PLANK PLANS or PLANT, but if you guess SKATE then you will know which letter it will be. So uses up two guesses instead of potentially four.

And from where are you plucking the word SKATE as opposed to any other random word ending in E,K,S or T?

The theory was to get a word that had as many of the potential missing letters into one word, so you can eliminate a few in one hit

PLAN_ can only end on E K S or T
So if i want to know which of those four letters it is, I choose a word with those in. For instance SKATE or could be STOKE or STEAK etc.
STOKE would work easier as PLANO is not a word, so either the S,T,K would highlight correct letter wrong place, and the E as correct letter right place.
Then next guess you know which is the correct last letter.

Definitely more difficult today. You did better on your fourth attempt than I did on my fifth

I only had 1 vowel left after the 1st word so it was just a case of where it went which was most likely the 2nd or 3rd letter. This limited options and got a bit lucky on which word I picked first out of those options.
