I was able to keep the 3s ahead of the 5s, by 2 or 3 for a little while... then reality kept creeping back in...
It will be a long time (if ever) that my 2s (11) get close to my 6s (16)... never got a 1!
I got a 1 because I was using the same starting word until that was the correct word.
Now I’ve changed my starting word (to something that hasn’t been the answer yet) and I’m sticking with that word until I get my next 1. Then I’ll do it again.
