Almost. I alternate these two words. Too bad I didn't use the other one first.

It is not a normal distribution. How many times did you solve it in 3.45 guesses?DrGreg said:Wordle 521 4/6

The orange curve I plotted is a normal distribution with the the same ##\mu## and ##\sigma## as the discrete samples (the blue spots) for my Wordle games. I'm not claiming the orange curve represents my Wordle history, it just happens to have the same ##\mu## and ##\sigma##.Orodruin said:It is not a normal distribution.

It's just for comparison, and as you point out, the comparison may not be all that useful.
