Wordle Bulletin #686 (May 6, 2023) — “I can get used to 3s! 😊”
Today’s Wordle:
Target Word: ANGER
# Of Guesses: 3.9 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 two vowels (A and E) and 1 consonant (R) but not their exact locations.
2nd Word: CLEAN: Since the seed word had revealed the presence of 2 vowels and majority of the Wordle words have 2 vowels, the priority was to determine 1) which of the next 3 high frequency consonants are present in the target word and 2) the exact position of the two vowels. For this reason, I chose CLEAN as the second word, not the second word of the triad (SULCI). The strategy worked. Only 1 possibility after the second word. 😊😊
😊Final Thoughts: Wordle is a game of luck and skill. Sometimes luck favors the game and sometimes it favors the player. Today luck was not a factor, only skill.
