SAVOY
VYING
My seed for game 1,272 looked a bit out there and I almost chose another one, but it ended up leaving me with only 1 solution. What luck!
-----------------------
My seed for game 1,273 was also quite lucky as it left me with only 10 possible solutions, so I did a bit better than the global mean of 5.172:
Wordle 1,273 4/6
SONAR:10
MOWER: 4
BRACH: 1
BOXER
A real rough one, as 12% of global players failed to solve the puzzle.

TONER

JOKER
ugh. I know better than to chase the answer. After my fifth (an actual filter word) I saw two possibles and of course picked the wrong one. I'm considering downloading the list of previous solutions, lol.

I used SONAR yesterday and changed it to SOLAR today. I don't think keeping SONAR would have helped me.OmCheeto said:

I profusely apologize. My aging eyesight deceived me. I missed the first column and thought that the third column is the second. Sorry for the confusion I may have caused, I should have looked closer and known better.gmax137 said:

[SANER] 14 left
[JUICY] filter - 2 left: BUNNY FUNKY
[FUNKY] most probable
I noticed that lately, there have been many words with letters that rarely occur (like F and K). BUNNY was also a good candidate with the double Ns, but the word choice seems to have shifted from positive, cute words to more challenging ones.
most-probable method count update (Success/Fail): 40/22 - 64.5%/35.5%

[LEAST] 3 left: BOAST ROAST TOAST
[ABORT] filter - 1 left
[BOAST]
I did not use the most-probable method as TOAST and ROAST seemed very tempting. (Especially that ROAST is an excellent seed word I used just 2 days ago.) But I was still tormented by the fact that every answer lately has a rarely occurring letter, like B.
My choices in the future will lean more and more toward words with rarely occurring letters.
