After the first two guesses I could think of only two words that fit (God knows how many there were), I was lucky.

We are Wordle-Borg. We share knowledge in order to create the ideal algorithm to solve the puzzle in the least number of tries. We seek perfection. And while we understand perfection is impossible, seeking it is an infinite path of improvement. And to us, improvement is pleasure. And hence, ....

What is wrong with you?

First time I pick the worst possible EER from a list :cool:. Paid off.

4 left after second guess. LAUGH, DALLY, BALMY, GAYLY. LAUGH would leave DALLY and BALMY while the others would be perfect filters. But naaaah, it was always going to be LAUGH.

I would have been stunned if my 3rd guess had been the answer, but I played it safe. The answer was my favorite as a 3rd guess, but it wasn't good enough as a filter.

3-in-4 … getting close to miracle week …

Edit: Actually, it is 4 in the last 7 … so I guess this is new miracle week. Last miracle week had some 4s sprinkled in, but this one is 2-3-3-2-2-3-2.

Edit 2: With this, the entropy method is now at 21% 2s, 53% 3s, and 26% 4s for a mean of 3.05. Four 2s away from 3.0.

Using the Orodruin method, I had 2 choices after my first guess for perfect filters/solutions.
The solution ended up being one of the two, and obviously, I picked the wrong one.

Does it count if they are different #s? 🤔

Although Jack is going to get this one in 2 as well ... our common seed ARISE leaves only the solution as a possibility.

I am happy to report that I took 20 minutes to write a Python script to compute the pattern numbers for all possible guesses and solutions. It completes in about a minute. I will be exporting the results to a csv and add them to my sheet. This should remove the need for my sheet to call the script I wrote to go with it and thus significantly improve performance and make some other stuff possible that was prohibitive by computation before.

DUMMY! is 6 characters, you're not fooling me!

I present to you: @Orodruin 's Wordle Sheet, version 3:
Screenshot 2025-04-15 at 20.29.02.png

Yes! It looks exactly the same as version 2, but it is sooooooo much faster.

I had to rip out superfluous rows and columns from all other sheets to accommodate the 2300x2300 lookup table within Google's limit on number of cells per notebook, but it was very worth it.
 
  • #6,787
Interestingly, POUCH and COUCH are currently the worst-case scenario in remaining number of words after every guess if you follow the sheet without further thought:
Screenshot 2025-04-15 at 20.39.58.png

You would have it in 4 or 5 depending on if you guess correctly after BONGO.
