Wordlebot's analysis does that to me all the time. For this game it claims that globally, 1 out of 11 people guessed the answer in 2 tries. My seed word scheduled for today guaranteed I get the answer in 2 tries as there were no other solutions*. So there was zero skill on my part, just dumb luck.gmax137 said:
*Wordlebot claims there were 5 possible solutions after my first guess: 2 new words, 2 previous solutions, and the solution. Since I keep track of old solutions and am not privy to new words until after I've finished playing, I had only 1 choice. Today is the first time I've added these 'new words' to my list of potential solutions as there have been 3 in the last 83 games and they really mess up my game. (GUANO, SNAFU, and BALSA)

This was and will be the only example where the elimination of vowels was the path to victory. I ruled out "ea" in my seed word, then tested "iou" in the second, and there were not many words left!gmax137 said:Wordle 729 4/6

I'll admit I used some help solving this one. It had me really .issed off. I guess it shouldn't count. Then again I'm from Denmark and I haven't got a fancy education like you guys. :P
Sometimes my vocabulary just doesn't cut it. Although I actually knew the word when I saw it.
The penultimate try was TAROK. which wasn't even on the AI's list.EDIT: It warms a little that the Wordle Analyzer called my first guess (AUREI) "Super unlucky" and that the AI would have had it in 4. :P

Yeah, but without some random new words, every so often, the game would soon become boring.OmCheeto said:

Similar to me. If I had checked my second guess on previous occurrences I probably would have made it in 2.gmax137 said:Wordle 732 5/6

Too many possibilties. But at least I got it. Last minute.
EDIT: That's what I get for starting with ASCOT. Sometimes what I do just don't make any sense.
