how did the game devs arrive at 7 total guesses/tries to get 7 word? 

Developer

1 higher than wordle because you have to guess twice

noted - but you’re guessing two different words, it’s not like the words are anagrams of each other where they both use the same letters, they’re completely different words. Maybe I’m just still new/novice player, I could benefit from more guesses BUT that’s just a comment from me. Cool game nonetheless!!! :)

You're correct, and that is exactly the problem you have to solve: Can you solve toward both words at once? My advice is not to underestimate the usefulness of a gray letter. 

hmm right now I focus on whichever word has the most yellow/green and try to solve that within 3-4 and then solve the second word but maybe I should zoom out bit and try to solve both at same time like you’re saying

7 guesses seem about right for me. BTW, this is the best variation I've seen on the wordle engine. My thanks to the developers. For someone who might want another pretty good variation you might try "hello wordle", the basic wordle format but the player can expand the number of letters in the hidden word to 6 or more.
