Wordle Bulletin #664 (April 14, 2023) — “Short-lived 3”


Today’s Wordle:
Target Word
: THIEF
# Of Guesses:
3.6 WordleBot average per Marc McLaren*, 4 for WordleGuru ☹

Seed Word: STARE – The “go-to” seed word starting March 8, 2023.
What we learned from the Seed Word: The seed word revealed one consonant (T) and one vowel (E) but not their positions. Too many possibilities at this stage. Need more exploration.

2nd word: COLIN: (2nd word in my “go-to” triad — STARE/COLIN/PUDGY). It revealed one vowel (I), but not its position. At this stage seven possibilities – BIDET, [DEITY, PIETY], EIGHT, QUIET, THIEF, and PIPET.  Time to deploy the EnotE© strategy.

3rd word: PUDGY: (3rd word in my “go-to” triad — STARE/COLIN/PUDGY). Interestingly the 3rd word in the triad came out to be the best elimination word.  It led to the answer – THIEF.

The seed word (STARE) and the second word (COLIN) represent the 10 most frequent letters in the Wordle-words to-date. The 3rd word (PUDGY) represents 5 of the next 6 highest frequency letters (11-16).

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 in play.
