I may have to unfollow this thread as your clues are making it too easy. Though this time there were probably over 500 possible answers that fit the pattern.

Not really necessary. I used to be a wizard at generating computer algorithms to solve mathematical problems like this. Now that I'm older, it's a fool's errand. But I enjoy the hell out of attempting, as it takes me back.

Drats! If it weren't for my word bias and ignoring my own rules, I would have had it in two again, based on your pattern.fresh_42 said:Wordle 446 6/6

Perhaps in the future I'll play later in the day and see if two or three people's patterns can find the solution. Though that sounds like a lot of work. These last three days I've spent over an hour figuring each these out. I guess it's just a different kind of puzzle.

Pure luck that I got it in 3 this morning, as I was quite the mental disaster, and my spreadsheet that I figure it out with was a train wreck.

According to the Wordlie bot, the second guess was not needed because I had only a few words left after the first guess itself.

No help from the PFeanut gallery today so I had to go it alone.

Not too bad, though the cheat bot said I should have had it in 3, as there was only one answer after my second guess. But it would have taken me a week to figure it out had I known that.
