This might be my most distracted Wordle yet. TWICE I dropped the t from my 1st word through the 2nd and 3rd. Lucky to get it in four.

(2,249 posts)I think it gives you a better chance of getting a two or a three, but also it gives you a better chance of crapping out. I had a real long streak when I used to start with the same three words, (three words and fifteen different letters), but I never got less than a four.

(17,087 posts)I don't use word bot, just try to think of words that'll fit the clues I get
William Seger
(10,788 posts)WordleBot just gives you some idea of how well you did in terms of skill and luck. It also shows how its algorithm would solve it, but that isn't particularly useful since no human could duplicate its perfect knowledge of the possible words or its mathematical precision in estimating probabilities. With Scoredle, you have to enter the solution word first, and then for each of your guesses, it just shows the words that were still possible -- I don't use that one very often, but sometimes it's interesting.

I just played my usual starter word and AORTA popped into my head out of nowhere. I wonder what the explanation is for that sort of thing?
intrepidity
(7,346 posts)Or, phonetics? Say "A R" in your head, and unless you're a pirate (aaaargh) or just stubbed your toe (AAAAARGH!) or from the far north (arctic), maybe aorta is a natural guess?
Anyway, congrats!
