7 months ago I would imagine that even the most brilliant people will need at least 5 minutes to solve duotrigordle.
For the record, there's this discord server where people speedrun the game. The fastest time for solving a practice duotrigordle puzzle is 15.56s and the fastest time for solving a practice duotrigordle in 32 guesses is 57.33s. Keep in mind this was before solve assist was introduced as well. Now, 26s seconds is most likely a cheated time, but closer to possible than you may think.
Is this something you would like to investigate and if there is bug enabling people to generate those record smashing timings, plug the hole?
I do have some mechanisms in place to help filter out illegitimate scores that I improve over time, which I can't share too much about. Keep in mind it's not possible to prevent cheating entirely when your words are the same for everyone, this is the case for every daily wordle-style game. Generally I encourage everyone to use the leaderboard to gauge their own progress instead of focusing on others.

Description Hi, thank for the leaderboard feature. It’s a very good tool for word games enthusiasts. However, when I look at the standings, sometimes I see some ridiculous timings associated with the solution. Like today for #749 , it appears that someone named Redeovg was able to solve it in less than 27 seconds. How is that even possible? I would imagine that even the most brilliant people will need at least 5 minutes to solve duotrigordle.
Is this something you would like to investigate and if there is bug enabling people to generate those record smashing timings, plug the hole?
