What do you put in your spreadsheet
@OmCheeto ?
Everything but the kitchen sink.
1. Random number generator that I use to pick one of ten seed words
2. Ranking seed number scores next to each word
3. List of legitimate answers
4. Column of played/not played solution numbers, 0 = not yet
5. Multiple columns used to filter out eliminated words
That was tab #1
Tab number 2:
Place for pasting all remaining viable answers
Used to predict the most probable solution word by summing of each letter in each column
Seldom works, but gets rid of a lot of the flotsam
Tab # 3:
Daily collection of 'bell curvy' analysis of games according to Wordlebot and me, starting with game # 564.
Tab #4
Almost never used list of legit and illegitimate solution words
Was invaluable yesterday/today to give me a word with 4 of the 5 letters I needed to find the solution:
VAMPS
Tab #5
One time analysis I finished just a couple of days ago because I was curious how many anagrams there were in the Wordle pool of solution words
short answer: there are 378 words on the list
My deeper question was how many anagrams generated 5x yellow sets:

The answer to that is 28.
fun example: canoe & ocean
There are also 6 sets of 4 words that are anagrams.
One example: crate, trace, cater, react
Tab #6
Hyper-analysis of game #573
48 hours of following a game from start to finish
Strange Things I discovered:
1. The flavor of the game is determined by the first thousand players in the first 3 hours
2. The NYT stops counting players at β666,000
3. Days last 48 hours, and not the 24 hours they taught us in grade school
4. I can be awake every hour on the hour for 48 hours to type in numbers, almost.
