Check out Isgrimnur's link for Hello Wordl that it says let's you play with 4-11 letter words.

Ugh. I haven’t the time.

Can someone give me the brief runedown?

Each day you get a new puzzle. You have 6 guesses to get a 5 letter word. On each guess, you will be told if a letter is not in the word (gray box), in the word but you don't have it in the right spot (yellow box) or in the word and you have it in the right spot (green box). That's it. A fun 10 minute break in the day.

I spent a lot of time between guesses three and four just staring at the keyboard, trying to find a word that would work.

...in which Kraken discovers that a correct letter can appear in more than one slot.

I was pretty much trying to guess where letters 4 and 5 could and couldn't potentially go (just based on which letters can't really be next to each other in the English language).

My 4th guess was a waste had I paid more attention.

Heh, you went the same direction I did with the same word. I know why I did it but it was still a weird move.

Spoiler:

quern is not a word that's even part of my lexicon but I get fixated on things and I was running through words that end in ern as I hadn't chosen the letter N yet. Query was not only a more reasonable word, it would have taken Y and U and demonstrated their presence or absence but I was stuck in "ern" words mode.
