So yeah. I tried to cheat but because my regex is so rusty the result was so abysmal I'm not even gonna post the "result" even though I added a lookup into an online library given me a json output along the lines of:

This would probably have made sense if it was the correct word. So now, this is no longer about mere words. I don't what's it's about but it's starting to get personal!

Back to basics. Works much better when I don’t overthink it.

Bam! 3 possible solutions (unbeknownst to me, it was actually 4)
1 left! Yippie! (actually zero without the missing solution)
cranial flatulence......
was not on my list of solutions

There should be a sensor that detects and prevents me from playing immediately after a 4 hour nap. With such a simple scenario after my first word was played, I decided to solve the puzzle in my head.

After 3rd guess I tried cheating again like this:

sbrothy@PAULINE:~/x2$ ./main -l 5 '^[ABCEFGHJMNOPQTUVXW]{1}EA[ABCEFGHJMNOPQTUVXW]{1}T$' -w csw.txt
[2024-09-17 14:20:05.436] [info] [main.cpp:170] [main.cpp][170]: MATCH: [BEAUT]

[2024-09-17 14:20:05.438] [info] [main.cpp:170] [main.cpp][170]: MATCH: [BEAUT]
sbrothy@PAULINE:~/x2$

After trying MEANT I was down to this:

sbrothy@PAULINE:~/x2$ ./main -l 5 '^[ABCEFGHJOPQTUVXW]{1}EA[ABCEFGHJOPQTUVXW]{1}T$' -w csw.txt
[2024-09-17 14:21:33.112] [info] [main.cpp:170] [main.cpp][170]: MATCH: [BEAUT]
sbrothy@PAULINE:~/x2$

So, a lot of work for not very much. It's a good thing I like goofing around with this stuff.

EDIT: And I see I still have an error with std::set... ah well...

I had "seen" this possibility, but mentally discarded it because "that's not a word"

was not on my list of solutions

I wonder about the average score for this one

I had "seen" this possibility, but mentally discarded it because "that's not a word"

Fortunately for me, when I discovered the solution board going blank, I resorted to my post game online analysis tool, which contained this "not a word". (I concur, though Merriam-Webster does list it.)

I wonder about the average score for this one

Averages:
World: 4.110
PF: 4.400

Late entry: It's also listed in my somewhat dusty 1993, 13¼ lb hardcopy Merriam-Websters, so it's not a new thing. It does state that it's slang though.

 

[OmCheeto]

Found this today, and could not stop laughing.
Reddit has a thing which is basically identical to PF's Wordle thread, but filled with scores of unfiltered comments.

My two favorites:

#1:
"If this is a spoiler delete but who the heck chose today’s word, a used car salesman?"



#2


"
BEAST (1)
BEAUT

This is just a karmic bad joke! I mean... really??

Dag nabbit! Had I not played this in self imposed hard mode, and with a minor bit of luck, I could have had this in 3.

[CROUP] 146 left
[SLANT] filter - 13 left
[BUILD] possible answer + filter - 3 left: GULLY QUELL FULLY
[FULLY] filter + looked more legit

For my 3rd guess, my program suggested BEIGY as a filter word but I wanted to take a chance with a possible answer that was probable. It would have left me with FULLY and DULLY only. With this last choice, I might have chosen the wrong one and needed an extra step.

I also forgot the "ignore previous answers" again. Have I used it, I would still had it in 4: CROUP (78 left), UNSET (10 left), DAILY (1 left), FULLY.

EDIT: I'm beginning to see the benefit of keeping track of used words...

EDIT2: Also, F would have been a better guess based on statistical occurrence I think. Definitely not P. Dunno what I was thinking there…

One smooth operation. Almost no thinking in between guesses. Works best for me when I to leave it to the unconscious part of the brain. The "robot". But I guess that's true for most skill-driven things.
