Wordle Bulletin # 470 (October 2, 2022)
Target Word: TWINE
Typical Wordle Word Construct: 2 Vowels and one or more compound consonants (seen with >50% frequency)
Today’s Wordle Word Construct: Typical; 2 vowels (I and E) and 1 compound consonant (TW)
# Of Guesses required: 3.8 per NYT’s WordleBot via Marc McLaren*; 3 for WordleGuru
Seed Word: SOARE
Seed Word Revelations: 1 vowel (E) in its exact position; no consonants
Second Word: UNITY. There were more than 100 possible answers after the 1st guess.
Primary Objective for the 2nd word: Search for additional vowels since majority of the Wordle words have 2 or more vowels (including Y)
Second Word Revelations: 1 vowel (I) in its exact position; 2 consonants but not their exact positions. There were only 2 possibilities after the second word – THINE and TWINE. Thine is not used at the present time, so TWINE became the answer.
Final thoughts: Wordle is a game of luck and skill. Today LadyLuck was on my side. 🙂
