After seeing an asterisk in one of my friends' shares, I'm now forced to play on hard mode as well. I can't risk the peer-shame of skating on easy mode anymore :)
So that being said, I'm bracing myself for the curses-of-early-success this will lead me on. Right now I sometimes toss out a completely different word just to cover the search space. It has led me to quickly narrow down options. Am I screwed if my first guess matches on 2 letters? (Say, "___ES").
I guess that's why it's called "Hard Mode" to begin with.
