I had been similar close when it was "large". But stupid me had to test "lager" first. Cheers!gmax137 said:Wordle 946 2/6

Same here. After the first seed word, I had 4 remaining possibilities. One the four, if chosen but not right, would guarantee getting the answer on the third guess. So after the first choice, I had 25% probability of getting the answer in 2 (didn't happen) and 100% probability of getting it in 3 (happened).Orodruin said:Wordle 948 6/6
Another victory for the informative guess. After the 4th guess I had more than 2 remaining possibilities. Guessing one of them at a time would have risked a loss. The 5th guess was designed to leave only one possibility. Streak intact.
How is it a counter point? The existence of a solved puzzle does not mean that the solution was guaranteed. Even if it were, the existence of a situation where the solution is guaranteed does not mean that it is always guaranteed.fresh_42 said:I had the usual 4 ...

... which I didn't want to post. But it is a counterpoint to @Orodruin 's strategy. I kept my already guessed letters fixed and still managed to keep the streak.
As in the bass line in music. (I would have said 'Kontrapunkt' but it was wrong in English and I was too lazy to look it up, so I took what the spellchecker suggested.)Orodruin said:
