Again, I picked the right word with an - apparently - 1 in 5 odd. Do you still believe it's luck or can you begin to see that my criteria to reduce it to a 1:1 odd might have some value?Orodruin said:

It has about as much value as Pascal’s wager until you do a proper statistical analysis with a clear and statistically significant conclusion.jack action said:
It is definitely not the mic drop moment you seem to believe it to be.

I have to pick a word, no matter the method I choose. Why not test a theory while at it?Orodruin said:
I'm gaining the data one game at a time.
The mic drop moment I believe I have is the one where the results tend towards the initial hypothesis. That seems to show a good start:

Percent of the game that is done. So yes, "percentage of the solution words that have been used?" is correct.gmax137 said:

Wordle 1,205 4/6
[CLASH] 109 left
[ENTRY] filter - 7 left: BALER FERAL LAGER LARGE PALER REGAL RELAX
[LARGE] lucky mistake *
[LAGER]
* I first made a mistake when entering my 2nd guess in my program; the erroneous solution was that there was only one left, i.e. LARGE. I, of course, realized my mistake when I found out it wasn't the solution. Entering the correct input as my second guess showed there were actually 7 left. With my already set third guess, the solution was clear.
If I would have entered the second guess correctly, I'm not sure what I would have picked as my third guess. The word suggested by my program was AXING which would have left 3 words: LAGER LARGE REGAL. I'm still not sure which one I would have picked between those three. My mind is too tainted by knowing the solution. Especially since, merely a few seconds before, I did another Wordle on another site where the answer was LAYER, and LAGER was one of the 5 choices I had after my second guess.
