Wordle 1,055 3/6





No cheating. My first answer yielded only 13 remaining solutions, and my 2nd guess left only 2. So this was mostly luck. Globally, this is a very difficult game with a mean of 4.895 guesses to solve. Sigma is 0.965.

and my 2nd guess left only 2

According to https://5-letter-words.com/, you had at least 4 possible words: JERKY, JERRY, KERKY, KERRY.

Even assuming your first 2 guesses contain B, D, N, P, M - the combination leaving the least amount of guesses - you still have 7 other words left: CERTY, FERLY, FERRY, HERRY, SERRY, TERRY, VERRY are also possibilities with your 2nd guess.

But, I admit, some of them are less likely to be the word.

Is that for just today's puzzle or for the game overall.

According to https://5-letter-words.com/, you had at least 4 possible words: ...

That site lists words that are accepted but are not solutions. It also lists previous solutions. I keep track of those. So far, the game has not resorted to putting old solutions back into circulation.

I use the following site to check on Wordlebot's game each day: https://tryhardguides.com/wordle-solver/

and use a spreadsheet while I play the game as I consider myself almost illiterate to the point where I will stare at the letters on the Wordle keyboard for an eternity and not come up with anything.

Is that for just today's puzzle or for the game overall.

Just todays. The average of the global mean for the last few hundred games hovers around 4.000 . For PF it averages about 3.700 .

For PF it averages about 3.700 .

You mean for solutions people post on PF …

Wordle 1,056 6/6








So, I'm getting all 5 letters (in the wrong places) with my first three guesses and then two anagrams of the answer with not a single letter in the right place. What are the odds of that?!

Very interesting. I had only three letters in the wrong places and only one possible solution…

C-L-O-N-S
D-U-M-P-Y
A-M-I-D-E
A-I-M-E-D
M-E-D-I-A​

Full disclosure: I don't use lists to help me find the answer and English is not my mother tongue.

 

[Orodruin]

Interesting.
I probably would not have made that 5th guess since the positioning of the A made it impossible to be the correct word and you had all the pieces. MEDIA was the only possible option at that point I think so ensuring that the guess does not violate earlier guesses would invariably solve it in 5 at that point.

I should have known my 4th guess was not the right one either with the position of the 'E'. I just couldn't see what the word was, so I was trying anything that sounded like a word. (I didn't even know AMIDE was a word!)

With my 5th guess, I knew it couldn't be the answer, but I knew it was a word, I couldn't think of anything else, and I was hoping to at least find one or more letters in the right place to help me. In the end, knowing where NOT to put the letters is still a clue!

I always have trouble when I have all the letters in the wrong positions.

Well, your 4th and 5th words are not valid* solutions. Using all the words accepted, there are 2 sets of words with 13 words that are anagrams. Sets with at least 3 anagrams, as in your case, numbers nearly 1600.

example

legit solution words = 1​	accepted words	letters sorted​	count
0​	strae	aerst​	1
0​	stear	aerst​	2
0​	taser	aerst​	3
0​	aster	aerst​	4
0​	teras	aerst​	5
0​	tares	aerst​	6
0​	rates	aerst​	7
0​	tears	aerst​	8
0​	arets	aerst​	9
0​	resat	aerst​	10
0​	reast	aerst​	11
0​	earst	aerst​	12
1​	stare	aerst​	13

*The list of solution words is dynamic, so don't carve my statements into stone. I wouldn't be surprised if TASER has been added to the list. And ASTER is a type of flower, so gardeners might be familiar with that.

Started on #1056 too late and it really troubled me. I used so much time that suddenly I was solving the next one instead and well… that, strangely, wasn’t so hard.
