@ColinTheMathmo I've noticed that the game gets, shall we say, impatient when you don't start right away. The `hint' symbol pops up after some time.
I try to do the whole thing first in my head and only start clicking away when I think I have all words.

@hartkp @ColinTheMathmo I had not spotted that. It seems to take about a minute and a half, if you don't fill anything in, and does not appear so long as you keep going.

@ppscrv @hartkp I just ignore the "hint" icon and carry on thinking about it. Sometimes I mark words without committing them, giving me time to stare at the rest of the board, but sometimes I just sit and stare.

I've learned not to think about the "hint" option ...

@ColinTheMathmo @hartkp I've never tried using the hint. But I do usually end up with a big block made up of marked-but-uncommitted words.

@ppscrv When I first started out I used to use the hint, but then I discovered that it reset one's streak, and I haven't used it since.

@ColinTheMathmo @ppscrv @hartkp am I the only person who doesn't worry about putting in incorrect guesses?

@hartkp@mathstodon.xyz avatar

@christianp @ColinTheMathmo @ppscrv And deviate from the straight and narrow? That's <inexpressable>

@hartkp @ColinTheMathmo @ppscrv so much more interesting!

@christianp @ColinTheMathmo @ppscrv @hartkp Nooope! I’m too impatient. But when I get perfect I fairly RACE here to tell the world!

@christianp @ColinTheMathmo @hartkp I bet you don't even try to keep the blues, greens, pinky-purples, and oranges together.

@hartkp @ppscrv @ColinTheMathmo @christianp No! I don't worry about it at all any more; i optimise for time-to-completion instead. Much more fun.
