Wordle Bulletin #661 (April 11, 2023) — “No qualms with fours!!”


Today’s Wordle:
Target Word
: QUALM
# Of Guesses:
4.2 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 (A) in the 3rd position. Needless to say, we needed more exploration.

2nd word: COLIN: (2nd word in my “go-to” triad – STARE/COLIN/PUDGY). It revealed one consonant (L), but not its position.  At this stage 5 possibilities FLAKY, LLAMA, QUALM, [PLAYA, PLAZA].  Time to deploy the EnotE © strategy.

3rd word: PLAZA: I like to use one of the possible words as an elimination word if it makes sense. Sometimes I do get lucky — the elimination word happens to be the target word. I used PLAZA.  I was torn between QUALM and PLAZA as the target word. QUALM was not a suitable elimination word. So, I ended up with PLAZA as the 3rd word.  It led me to the answer – QUALM.

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 on my side. I lost the coin toss.
