Wordle Bulletin # 611 (February 20, 2023) – “Lost a 3-headed coin toss!”

Today’s Wordle:
Target Word: SWEAT
# Of Guesses: 3.4 WordleBot average per Marc McLaren*, 3 for WordleGuru. 😊

Typical or atypical target word? — Typical, since it contains 2 vowels (E and A) and one compound consonant (SW).  The “norm” is 2 vowels and 1 compound consonant.

Seed Word: ALERT – “go-to” seed word.
What we learned from the Seed Word: The seed word revealed 2 letters with their positions and 1 letter without its position.  An excellent outcome.   Only 3 possible answers – SWEAT, CHEAT, and WHEAT.  It was time to deploy the EnotE© strategy.

2nd word: CHEAT (not the “go-to” 2nd word);
I like to use one of the possibilities as an elimination word.  Based on statistical data available to me, I chose CHEAT.   It eliminated WHEAT and led me to the answer – SWEAT.

Final thoughts: Wordle is a game of luck and skill.   Sometimes luck favors the game and sometimes it favors the player.  Luck was not in my corner today, otherwise I would have scored a 2!  Missed opportunity for a 2. ☹ Happy to get a 3. 😊
