Blah. I usually go blank, but this time there was a surprising abundance of possibilities.

I'll do better than 5/6 eventually!

@CableZL

Really impressed with your challenges on these. :)

Any guess as to how many words you actually know?

For example, Shakespeare was believed to know about 66k words.

There's an online test that can be taken for this.

18,800 words

Very, very easy one today, though partly because that was a very lucky second guess.

Ahhhh

Wordle 224 3/6

So I'm not really sure if this fits here, but I figured it might be interesting to analyze what the "best" starting word would be since I saw some people talking about it.

My goal was to try and maximize the amount of green letters you get on your first guess, so I wrote a python script to try and get the job done. It does something vaguely like this:

1. Takes the set of all English words and filters them to ones that are only 5 letters long
2. Makes a dictionary that stores how frequently each letter appears in each location: The initial output of this if you make a string out of all the most frequent letter in each position is "saaee". So that means a majority of 5 letter words start with s, and a majority have e as their fourth and fifth letter.
3. "saaee" obviously isn't a word, so I'll have to try to choose another string by changing one of the letters. Basically I tried to minimize the amount of frequency that I "lost" with each swap by taking the difference between the most frequent letter in that location with the second most frequent letter at that location: The position with the lowest difference gets switched out with it's second most frequent letter
4. Doing the above step, I might end up running out of words to switch out to in one of the positions. If that happens, I back up to the last oppertunity I could have switched out a different word and switch out the second best option to check that tree.
5. Repeat all of the above until a valid word is found.

Doing that, the script spat out the word "sixty", which I think would be the best word to get the most amount of green letters... assuming my script works correctly

Meta Wordle, what are the first two lines?

Another disappointing 6.

SIREN
OCTAL
DUMPY

Never fails

I sometimes start with Audio since it includes 4/5 vowels. And it pretty much gives an idea about E too unless two of the vowels are green

Someone already did that and someone else posted it in the last thread. Their top word was soare and I believe irone was second.

I've seen "irate" be mentioned as a good starting word.

100% so far; can't stop this train

This was the first time I was taken to 6 and it was a 50/50 shot for me. Got it thankfully.

Wordle 225 6/6








That was a close one. Probably would've gotten it in 5 if I had been paying more attention (and thus used the yellow one from the 3rd guess correctly).

god dammit
