5. I'll keep playing but now it's like Phrazle

The 5 letter puzzle on that site. They not only use repeats, but their stock of words seems limited to more repeats than unused words. When I realized the difference, I kept playing both games. I will use the strategies I use in Phrazle to play Wordle and gracefully accept that my word choices will not always be unused.

It does take the fun and challenge out of the game. I would have preferred that they went to a 6 letter word (22,000 +/-) , or even a 4 letter words (5000 +/-)
