Wordle #778 (August 6, 2023) – NY Times WordleBot score: 4.3 – Triad: SLATE/RHINO

/PUDGY

Tactics for today’s Wordle: Used CHOIR as the second word than the one in the triad (RHINO). At this point there are 15 possible solutions. Needed to deploy EnotE© strategy. Picked one of the possibilities (GODLY) as the elimination word. it did the job.

Wordle #777 (August 5, 2023) – NY Times WordleBot score: 3.9 – Triad: SLATE/RHINO

/PUDGY

Tactics for today’s Wordle: Since the seed word revealed 2 vowels, didn’t use the 2^nd word of the triad. A majority of the Wordle words contain only 2 vowels. After the second word only 3 possibilities – ANODE, NAÏVE and ANIME. Chose ANODE based on frequency of use. Luckily it worked. 😊

Wordle #776 (August 4, 2023) – NY Times WordleBot score: 3.2 – Triad: SLATE/RHINO

/PUDGY

Tactics for today’s Wordle: After the first 2 words only 1 possibility. 😊😊😊😊😊

Wordle #775 (August 3, 2023) – NY Times WordleBot score: 3.2 – Triad: SLATE/RHINO

/PUDGY

Tactics for today’s Wordle: After the first 2 words, 2 possibilities – PARTY and WARTY. I chose PARTY, since in my judgment, WARTY is not used as often. Luckily it worked. 😊

Wordle #774 (August 2, 2023) – NY Times WordleBot score: 4.4 – Triad: SLATE/RHINO /PUDGY

Tactics for today’s Wordle: After the first 2 words, 8 possibilities. Time to deploy the EnotE© strategy. Selected the elimination word from one of the 8 possibilities. As luck would have it, the word was the target word. 😊

Wordle #773 (August 1, 2023) – NY Times WordleBot score: 3.9– Triad: SLATE/RHINO /PUDGY

Tactics for today’s Wordle: Since the seed word revealed one vowel, chose to stay with the second word of the triad. Had the seed word not reveal any vowel, the second word of choice would have been CURIO. After the first two words, only one possibility. 😊 😊

Wordle #772 (July 31, 2023) – NY Times WordleBot score: 3.4– Triad: SLATE/RHINO or CHINO/PUDGY

Tactics for today’s Wordle: After the seed word, only three possibilities – STOLE, STILE and STYLE. Unlike yesterday, the second guess not based on frequency/usage, but rather gutfeel. Proved to be the target word. Lucky break! 😊 😊
