:doh:I didn't even notice that! I refer to that type of thing as 'before my first cup of coffee in the morning' brain. I can totally relate.

[...] To @sbrothy : If the idea crosses your mind that we are overthinking this, you're probably right ##~\dots~## but it's fun to do so.

That was exactly my point. Also, it was - to put it mildly - ironic. :smile:

I may have a "heurestic" MO but I'm hardly innocent of overthinking things.

EDIT: Heck, I wrote several thousand lines of C++ just to discover that cheating doesn't really pay off. o0)

Fortunately (or disturbingly), most of the code was lying around from my cheating at Scrabble. ?:)

EDIT2: I think I already linked to this, but if I need a ticket to the nerd-club I hope this will do

Wordle 1,203 3/6

⬛🟨⬛⬛⬛ [CLASH] 85 left
⬛🟩⬛⬛🟩 [PIOYE] filter - 5 left: BIBLE BILGE LIEGE RIFLE TITLE
🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 [TITLE] most probable to be selected by a human

Luck or technique?

On my second guess, the filter words suggested by my program were BEGAT or BIGOT which would have made a guaranteed answer in 4.

But I knew BIBLE and RIFLE were not preferred as they are too edgy, especially with the ongoing US election. BILGE is way down on my list of preferred words. TITLE seems more appropriate because it is more common and LIEGE sounded more foreign and less used.
