Wordle 629 2/6




Yes, I did utilize the aforementioned

pattern which yielded a reduced set of only 177 words to choose from. The reduced set also limited my choices for my second guess from 3 to 1. I also used a seed word determined by this short list rather than one of my standard set.

Had I played my random seed today with no hints I would have gotten it in 3.

I like to check "h" and "y" at an early stage. A lack of "h" automatically rules out "ch","sh","gh","th","wh" and a "y" at the end is also useful. Hard words are those with double occurrences and those where changing one letter allows many solutions.

I too find the double letter ones, especially vowels, particularly difficult.

Not all $N$ words are equally likely. My understanding is that words are not reused. When $N$ puzzles have been published, it's bye-bye Wordle. If you have kept track of the used words since day $1$, on day $N$ the probability that you will get it right with one try will be $1$. I have not kept track of the used words, but I loaded the two lists on Excel and wrote VBA code to do the searches and the bookkeeping.

They'll probably introduce Wordle+ (2.0) with 6 letters.

Separering the wheat from the chaff. :)

2 Es are quite common though. Almost always worth a try.

Yeh, I think I'm gonna abandon hardmode too. It's sometimes more annoying than challenging.
