Wordle Bulletin #636 (March 17, 2023) — “Not A and E again!”


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

Typical or atypical target word? — Atypical, it contains 3 vowels (E, A and Y) and no compound consonant. The “norm” is 2 vowels and 1 compound/paired consonant.

Seed Word: STARE – The “go-to” seed word starting March 8, 2023.
What we learned from the Seed Word: The seed word revealed 2 letters – A in the first position and E without revealing its position.  Too many possibilities at this stage. Need more discovery.

2nd word: CHOIL
(2nd word of the triad STARE/CHOIL/PUDGY): It revealed L but not its position.  At this point there were 4 possibilities with one less common word – MEALY LEAFY, LEAKY, and ELAND (less common).  Time to deploy the EnotE© strategy.

3rd word: LEAFY – I prefer to use one of the possible words as an elimination word.  Either of LEAFY or LEAKY would have served the purpose.  I chose LEAFY; lost the coin toss.

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 on my side.  I lost the coin toss.
