Wordle 1,056 6/6








So, I'm getting all 5 letters (in the wrong places) with my first three guesses and then two anagrams of the answer with not a single letter in the right place. What are the odds of that?!

Very interesting. I had only three letters in the wrong places and only one possible solution…

For those interested in my game:

I-R-A-T-E
C-L-O-N-S
D-U-M-P-Y
A-M-I-D-E
A-I-M-E-D
M-E-D-I-A​

Full disclosure: I don't use lists to help me find the answer and English is not my mother tongue.

Interesting.
I probably would not have made that 5th guess since the positioning of the A made it impossible to be the correct word and you had all the pieces. MEDIA was the only possible option at that point I think so ensuring that the guess does not violate earlier guesses would invariably solve it in 5 at that point.

I should have known my 4th guess was not the right one either with the position of the 'E'. I just couldn't see what the word was, so I was trying anything that sounded like a word. (I didn't even know AMIDE was a word!)

With my 5th guess, I knew it couldn't be the answer, but I knew it was a word, I couldn't think of anything else, and I was hoping to at least find one or more letters in the right place to help me. In the end, knowing where NOT to put the letters is still a clue!

I always have trouble when I have all the letters in the wrong positions.

Well, your 4th and 5th words are not valid* solutions. Using all the words accepted, there are 2 sets of words with 13 words that are anagrams. Sets with at least 3 anagrams, as in your case, numbers nearly 1600.

example

legit solution words = 1​	accepted words	letters sorted​	count
0​	strae	aerst​	1
0​	stear	aerst​	2
0​	taser	aerst​	3
0​	aster	aerst​	4
0​	teras	aerst​	5
0​	tares	aerst​	6
0​	rates	aerst​	7
0​	tears	aerst​	8
0​	arets	aerst​	9
0​	resat	aerst​	10
0​	reast	aerst​	11
0​	earst	aerst​	12
1​	stare	aerst​	13

*The list of solution words is dynamic, so don't carve my statements into stone. I wouldn't be surprised if TASER has been added to the list. And ASTER is a type of flower, so gardeners might be familiar with that.

Started on #1056 too late and it really troubled me. I used so much time that suddenly I was solving the next one instead and well… that, strangely, wasn’t so hard.

I feel pretty good about getting this one in two. It took me quite a while.

I had three words left after the first guess. Should have gone with my second instinct first.
