Wordle Bulletin #688 (May 8, 2023) — “I know I know, regression to the mean! A 4 is just around the corner!”
Today is the 6th day of using ROATE as the seed word. A time may be coming soon to use the 2nd word of the triad as the seed word.
Today’s Wordle:
Target Word: AGLOW (Typical – 2 vowels, 1 compound consonant)
# Of Guesses: 4.1 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 (O and A) but not their exact locations.
2nd Word: CLONS: Since majority of the Wordle words have 2 vowels, we didn’t need to search for additional vowels. For this reason, instead of SULCI (the 2nd word of the triad), I chose CLONS (yes, it is a valid word!). The strategy worked. Only 1 real possibility after the second word. The other possible word was OFFAL, which in my judgment is not used often. 😊😊
😊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 much of a factor, only skill. 😊
