Today is the 11th day of using ROATE as the seed word. A time may be coming soon to switch the 1^st and 2^nd words of the triad (ROATE/SULCI/NYMPH).

Today’s Wordle:
Target Word: ACRID (Typical – 2 vowels, 1 compound consonant)
# Of Guesses: 3.6 WordleBot average per Marc McLaren*, 3 for WordleGuru 😊

Seed Word: ROATE: first word of the triad – ROATE/SULCI/NYMPH.
What we learned from the Seed Word: presence of one vowel (A) and one consonant (R) but not their exact positions.

2^nd Word: SULCI (the 2^nd word of the triad) since the seed word revealed only 1 vowel and majority of the Wordle words have 2 vowels.  4 possible answers at this stage (VICAR, CAIRN, ACRID, and CIGAR) – only 2 of which are commonly used words (per my judgment) – ACRID, and CIGAR.

3rd Word: ACRID:  typical Wordle world contains 2 vowels and 1 compound consonant.  ACRID  fits this mold whereas CIGAR does not. Frequency data on the other hand, favored. CIGAR. I put my weight on typical word characteristics and chose ACRID.  Lucky for me it worked.

Final Thoughts: Wordle is a game of luck and skill. Sometimes luck favors the game and sometimes it favors the player. Today luck was in my corner. 😊
