Wordle Bulletin # 466 (September 28, 2022)

Prolog:    The strategy I employ is designed to ensure I solve the puzzle for sure, preferably in 5 guesses or less.  This strategy will rarely solve the puzzle in 3 guesses or less.  Today is one of those days when I was able to solve the puzzle in 3 guesses.

Target Word: USURP
Typical Wordle Word Construct: 2 Vowels and one or more compound consonants (seen with >50% frequency)
Today’s Wordle Word Construct: Typical; 2 vowels (U repeated) and 1 compound consonant (RP)
Difficulty: “Today’s Wordle answer may give players a little trouble” per Marc McLaren*; “Nothing out of the ordinary” per WordleGuru
# Of Guesses:4.0 per Marc McLaren*; 3 for WordleGuru

Seed Word SOARE
Seed Word Revelations: No vowel (O) and 2 consonants (S not in exact positions; R in exact position)
Second Word: UNITY
Primary Objective for the 2nd word: Reveal vowels (U, I, Y)
Revelations from the 2nd word: Presence of 1 vowel (U) in the 1st position; no new consonants
# Of Possible Solutions After the 2nd Word: Just one – USURP!

Final thoughts: Wordle is a game of luck and skill. My choice of the seed word worked today.
