Wordle Bulletin #692 (May12, 2023) — “Hopefully, 4s and 5s are in the rear-view mirror, at least for a while!”
Today is the 10th day of using ROATE as the seed word. A time may be coming soon to switch the 1st and 2nd words of the triad (ROATE/SULCI/NYMPH).
Today’s Wordle:
Target Word: SNACK (A-Typical – 1 vowel, 2 compound consonants)
# Of Guesses: 3.7 WordleBot average per Marc McLaren*, 3 for WordleGuru. 😊
Seed Word: ROATE: first word of the triad – ROATE/SULCI/NYMPH.
What we learned from the Seed Word: presence of one vowel (A) in the 3rd position, but no consonants.
2nd Word: SULCI (the 2nd word of the triad): since the seed word revealed only 1 vowel and majority of the Wordle words have 2 vowels, we needed to search for additional vowels. Three possible answers (all orthographic neighbor words – ☹) at this stage – [SNACK, SMACK, and SHACK].
3rd Word: SNACK: Made the right guess. Won the lottery today! 😊
Final Thoughts: Wordle is a game of luck and skill. Sometimes luck favors the game and sometimes it favors the player. Today luck was definitely in my corner. 😊
