hehe. ouch :P

I hate those! :)

EDIT: of course it's better than not getting it at all..

I thought the whole point was symmetry-breaking. Then again I'm, as you know, an uneducated hack. :)

Careful! I was quite lucky with this game.
The global mean is 4.479 guesses.
Sigma is 1.138, the highest I have ever recorded.
Even Wordlebot needed 5 guesses.

 

[Orodruin]

Yup

Wordle 988 5/6







Didn’t need to do an informational guess though. Only two possibilities remained after guess 4

Here's an example of how not wasting a guess to eliminate possible solutions paid off. I got lucky and scored 3 instead of playing it safe and scoring 4. Reminds me of "laying up" in golf. (I don't play golf, though).

I mean, there will always be variance.

Hah! I've using this seed word consistently for more that a year and it paid off today.

Time to change seed? Or are you going for the 1?

 

[kuruman]

Time to change seed? Or are you going for the 1?

I already got the 1 which makes me content. I will not change my seed because I have made an investment in devising second choices based on the specific outcomes given this seed.

Wordle 548 1/6



Jackpot! There is something to be said about sticking to the same seed word for while.

I've gone through a couple too: "AUDIO", "AUREI", "SQUAT", "SQUAD", but I've settled on "IRATE" as it seems to get the best consistent results. Of course, I don't "obsess" over it as you lot seem to do, with your sigmas, spreadsheets and means and whatnot. Sometimes I suspect your educations did a number on your brains or perhaps you were always a little geeky. I suspect the last. :P

(sbrothy hides a corner.)

 

[Herman Trivilino]

I've been using AROSE as the seed and if I get no hits I go with FLUID on line 2.

Any human endeavor has its aficionados $\dots$ and then there are the dilettantes.

Have you considered UNTIL for the second word? N and T occur with higher frequency than F and D in the remaining candidate words if AROSE draws 5 no hits.

Touché. :)

UNTIL is better than FLUID. What about TULIP?

 

[kuruman]

UNTIL is better than FLUID. What about TULIP?

Good question. Below is a screenshot of my spreadsheet output. It shows the frequencies of letters appearing in the 183 candidates that remain after the letters in AROSE have been filtered out. For each letter, the number occurrences in each position 1-5 is also shown. You can see that P with a total of 46 occurrences is below N which has 64. So UNTIL increases your chances for hits over TULIP albeit not by much. Either choice has the top 3 letters IUL.

Hard mode strikes again!

Meaning you were in hard mode by mistake?

Without hard mode I could have won with a 6/6 if I could've come with a word containing

Spoiler

P, B, and H

. Instead I lost.

If I admit to be a dilletante do you admit to be a little geeky? :P

I used to have a programming co-worker who had a Ph.D in statistics. That is the most extreme example of geekery I've ever encountered. Hs wife used to call me ( our desks was right next to each other) and ask me o remind him to pick up his children from kindergarden. He was that focused.

 

[kuruman]

Sure. I revel in my geekiness.

 

[sbrothy]

Sure. I revel in my geekiness.

As I revel in my dilletantism :P

No, I meant to quote your post. Mine today was 4/6.
