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?

Afraid you might be, ..... assimilated?

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.

⬛🟨⬛⬛⬛ [CLINT] filter - 7 left: BALMY BYLAW DALLY GAYLY LAUGH LOAMY MODAL
🟨🟩⬛🟨⬛ [GAYLY] possible answer + filter - 1 left
🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 [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.
