Wordle Bulletin #673 (April 23, 2023) — “Not being greedy, will take a 4 after a 5 yesterday!”

Note: I am testing a new scheme starting with puzzle #669. Until now the first two words of the triad represented the 10 most frequent letters (STARE/COLIN/PUDGY or ALTER/SONIC/PUDGY). The 3^rd word of the triad excluded the 12^th most frequent letter (H) in favor of the 16^th most frequent letter (G). I want to change the triad to include H. The new triad is CHAOS/TIMER/DUPLY. The first two words of the triad include H and M (12^th and 17^th most frequent) and exclude L and N (6^th and 9^th most frequent). I will give this triad at least 30 days for testing before making a judgement.

Today’s Wordle:
Target Word: UNZIP
# Of Guesses: 4.4 WordleBot average per Marc McLaren*, 4 for WordleGuru. 😊

Seed Word: CHAOS – Testing a new scheme, as described above.
What we learned from the Seed Word: No revelations, just elimination of 5 letters from consideration.

2nd word: TIMER: (2nd word of the new triad – CHAOS/TIMER/DUPLY). It revealed 1 vowel (I), but not its position. At this stage too many possibilities, need more revelation/elimination.

3rd word: DUPLY: since only one vowel was revealed (I), I decided to use the third word of the triad (DUPLY) since it looks for additional vowels U and Y. At this point only one possibility – UNZIP. No need to deploy the EnotE© strategy.

Final Thoughts: Wordle is a game of luck and skill. Sometimes luck favors the game and sometimes it favors the player. Today was a good day for me. The new triad proved to be effective vs. today’s target word. 😊
