Is there a particular reason you do not make an information gathering guess on 5? There are a total of 5 words fitting the *USTY pattern and you used one on guess 4. Finding a filter word should not be horribly difficult.dwarde said:I have done it again. A screen full of green squares and no correct answer. Is there a prize for that ??

Heh, that's pretty obscure, if not downright esoteric. I'm surprised it accepted it. I sometimes can't get it to accept much more "normal" words. You sure have some bottle!gmax137 said:Wordle 1,211 4/6

A splendid example of how extreme using previous solutions to exclude answers is becoming. After guess 2, excluding previous solutions cut the field from 11 to 4. Two of which worked as filter.

I couldn't tell which of the 2 last words would be more probable to be picked by a human. This one was more of a coin toss.
