Oopsie! Must have been distracted by something, as it appears I forgot to post for the last few days.

I've only missed playing the game once(#226) since I started(game #211). Looks like I missed celebrating my millennial mark.

Wordle 1,239 4/6

⬛⬛🟩⬛⬛ [AMEND] 42 left
⬛⬛🟩🟨⬛ [CREST] filter - 5 left: SHEEP SHEIK SHELF SIEVE SWELL
🟩⬛🟩⬛⬛ [SHEEP] most probable -1 left
🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 [SWELL]

That was lucky and a deception. I used the word I thought would have been the most probable (a wink to the US election?) instead of my suggested filter word WHILE (guaranteeing an answer in 4) to end up with the last word I would have chosen between the 5 possible answers.

most-probable method count update (Success/Fail): 35/15 - 70%/30%

Is it possible this only occurred by chance?

What you need to compute is the probability of this (or a more extreme result) occurring by chance if it were random.
:wink:

I got last Wednesday's game in 4 instead of 3 because of ChaseLess's hole in one.

Used words cut the list from 9 to 3 after 2 guesses. Two of them being filters and the one of those I never heard of being the solution.

If ChatGPT is to be trusted:

The term **"primi"** has several possible meanings depending on the context:

1. **In Latin/Italian**:
- *Primi* is the plural form of "primo," which means **"first"** in English.
- In Italian cuisine, *"primi"* refers to **"first courses"**, typically pasta, risotto, or soup dishes served before the main course (*secondi*).

2. **In medical terminology**:
- *Primi* is short for *primigravida* or *primipara*, referring to a woman who is pregnant or giving birth for the first time.

3. **In general usage**:
- It may refer to **"firsts"** or something considered of primary importance, depending on the context.

If you have a specific context in mind, let me know, and I can refine the explanation!
