CRAMP PARKA RAPID [ROAST] 18 left [BILED] filter - 1 left [RUMBA] ARISE LUNAR BATIK RUMBAWhy this guess if I may ask? Any particular reason?gmax137 said:
My first word covered three vowels and two "popular" letters; this guess (my second word) covers two more popular letters, another vowel, and tried to place the two letters (A and R) I "got" from my first word. I sometimes use LEMON as a second word (popular letters) but in this case, knowing E would be a wasted letter, I thought a bit and LUNAR bubbled up in my mind.Orodruin said:
I guess this is where knowing the exact remaining words comes in handy. LUNAR has already been used as a solution (#550) and given the remaining words it was actually relatively weak in terms of how well you expect it to discriminate among those (EER of just below 2 - on par with RATTY and only better than UMBRA, WHARF, and QUARK). The main issue I think being that U is just not that common in words containing A and R - at least not among the remaining Wordle solutions. Very surprisingly, the best second guess after ARISE would have been HARRY. I went with RADAR, which was not the best guess in terms of EER, but only slightly off and I thought it more probable to be the solution than HARRY.gmax137 said:
Yes. But that's not the game I want to play. I have no problem with other people playing as they wish, I'm just more personally more interested in testing my intuition. And as I mentioned previously, it's getting harder and harder, because I keep on guessing words already used, lol. By the time we get down to all but say 100 words used, I expect my scores will be >6 more often than not, while those "counting cards" will get scores of 1 or 2 almost every time. I'm sure I will stop playing well before then.Orodruin said:
Sure, I respect that. I just find it interesting to see the differences in play styles and how far one can push the differences in strategy from playing the game "casually" as opposed to going "hard-core" with spreadsheets or scripts. That's what scratches my itch. I of course meant no disrespect to how you want to play.gmax137 said:

[RINSE] 12 left [VAUNT] filter - 1 left [SUAVE]A long time since I started with that word … nowadays I start with ARISE which has the lowest EER for the remaining pool of words (I’ll reevaluate this from time to time). I even had a different starter in between (ALERT).gmax137 said:Wordle 1,338 2/6
Long time since I had a two! I stole the @jack action / @Orodruin starting SUITE and it really came through for me!

One can have primary goals, but that does not exclude also having secondary goals once it is clear that the primary goal is already achieved.kuruman said:
