This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.
Important notes on articles:
- Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
- Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
- If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

Why do people play difficult/hard mode? by OrangeJubilee
And why is it called that? It seems like it should be called stupid mode.
If there are 3* or greater mutually exclusive answers, the smart thing to do is guess as many of those letters as possible. The wordlebot guesses known wrong words all the time.
The worst is when you are down to what you think are only 2 possibilities. You definitely should guess 1 of them then the other ... only to realize you didn't think of the third possibility.
I got both today and Sunday in 6.
* If you KNOW it is only 3, and you have three guesses left, doing it either way yields the same expected outcome I think. But doing the known wrong word also gives protection if there was another option you didn't think of.
