Has this number not been slipping lately? I remember the ratio significantly higher.

Can you get the stats for your 20 latest entries?

The first record was after 46 games (using the method), with a 73.9% success rate;
Then it reached after 76 games, a 61.8% success rate;
Then it went up after 102 games to a 65.7% success rate;
To finally come back after 131 games to a 61.8% success rate.

It seems to have remained relatively stable for the last 73 games (between 61.8% and 65.7%), although it is on a negative slope right now. However, it does get harder as fewer choices remain.

I'll admit to consulting the letter frequency table while playing (as you can see from the picture). So yeah, I cheated a little (and got lucky). Again.

Though why I guessed P before F I can't explain.

* My list has changed radically today, and I'm not sure why. But I'm too lazy to investigate, and it looks legit, so I'm letting procrastination win.

** I was hesitating between IGLOO and PUPIL, but the former was not a good filter. I still chose to say I use the most-probable method as I wasn't expecting this answer at all.

It has always had a slightly better score, but it has already been used as a solution.

OK I didn't "cheat" this time but, given the eliminations in the first two guesses there weren't a lot of words left to choose from so I'm not sure it counts towards "wordle brilliance".

Although admittedly I was surprised myself.

After the first word I was really sure I was lucky and will get it in two.

After the first word I was really sure I was lucky and will get it in two.

I had a similar feeling after the first 2 guesses. "I'm gonna get it in 3!"

...and lo and behold!

I have no clue what happened yesterday with my seed word list. It is back to "normal" today. According to @Orodruin , it looks like it went through the entire list of possible answers, but I don't understand why it did that.

I'd actually be able to do better consulting the letter frequency table (and also heeding it). I'll come clean if I do it again.

How did you hit on the correct one immediately? Do you have a system for that too? I wouldn't be surprised mind.

EDIT: And I'm of course assuming SWRD is a typo.

It was the best filter (or one of the best?) out of the possible answers. My program actually suggested POUTY.

@Orodruin 's game most likely used the same strategy (except he actually calculates the probabilities for the filters, as I only do it for the seed word).

EDIT: And I'm of course assuming SWRD is a typo.

Yes. Corrected now, thank you.

Yes, it was the best filter among the remaining possibilities. I don’t remember if it was a tie or not.
