As for me, I'm as streaky as a lot of MLB hitters, especially nowadays. I've had some good streaks where I dominate and then I have streaks where it's a win if I get it to where I fail with 2/4 colors accomplished. And as guys like you and BRF have said, it's weird as hell. You ace something that others struggled with and then, as I know, every other damn person gets it AND easily, while you fail like a dummy. I think that's why I've started liking this game -- I can't figure out how the "easy for me, hard for you and vice versa" thing works like it does. Keeps me interested in seeing how the rest of you do compared to me. 

My best is 13 but I rarely get past 4 in a row. I don’t think I’ve reached double digits in maybe a year. Then my wife gets the difficult ones and then goes on to fail wordle twice a week.

Welp, so much for that streak! Last two tries were just wild guesses and hoping I'd get lucky. Which didn't happen.
