3.448 just by starting with reast instead of raise (rank 29). Still room for improvement!

In retrospect, there’s a better word I should have tried second, but it still would have been a step away from the answer.

It’s funny how Wordle has some seemingly non-core but important features that make it so successful, compared to Mastermind Letters: • simple, easy and clear interface • at most 6 guesses, making it a quick game, yet challenging with uncertain win • easily share results, without giving away the solution Good job Mr Wardle!

Must have felt a little pressure :sweat_smile: Did you still have 2 possibilities on the last try?

It’s the only possibility left (at least according to my vocab)

I already spent k, e, and p

> It’s the only possibility left (at least according to my vocab) I find your confidence in your self-knowledge of your own vocabulary impressive! :smile:

unless you went through the actual list of words to check maybe?

SPOILER AHEAD . . . . .

well, I know it’s shar_.

Then I just look through all keys on my keyboard. I only recognize shark, share, sharp, and shard. Since k, e, and p are already spent, it only leaves one possibility.

ah right, that makes sense now

I got a little lucky today:

I used to avoid doing #;#; exp1 exp2 because of the potential bad surprises, but now with the dimming of the expressions in DrRacket, that’s not a problem anymore! :slightly_smiling_face:

In particular for things like #;#;#;(println var1) (debug-info ...) (println var2)

I really need to fix my solver :) Wordle 229 5/6

I thought “SALET” was the winning first guess.

Depends on the algorithm I suppose.
