All of my guesses here will be valid guesses in next version of Rackedle.

I see you played raise first today :slightly_smiling_face:

My friend said that serai is a better starting position for minimizing the worst case.

I guess the rationale for converting to float is because float is contagious, but in the case of min and max you could really make a case for them to return the original values unaltered, i.e., eq?

I don’t think that’s true. The worst case is 5 guesses, and “raise” achieves it too (edit: in easy mode)

Also, you can have small expected case and minimize the worst case at the same time with many words (the optimal one being “salet”) (edit: in easy mode)

Woah, so many guesses in 3! I feel subpar today :smile:

Ah, or maybe your friend was talking specifically about hard mode?

No, it’s still salet in hard mode: http://sonorouschocolate.com/notes/index.php?title=The_best_strategies_for_Wordle or “palet” to reduce the worst case actually (edit) Well, to be fair, that doesn’t preclude “serai” to also minimize the worst case. The link doesn’t provide a table for worst cases

Looks like a pretty unlucky start for hard mode!

Yes, I think min should return the unaltered value, and I’m not sure why it doesn’t.

I suppose Racket is just delegating to Chez, and I checked Chez, and it returns 2.0

I asked on IRC #scheme - curious if someone has a good reason
