My strategy is built to ensure I solve 95% of the puzzles in 4 guesses or less. It is not built to always shoot for the lowest score possible. The score depends a lot on the seed word. Wordle is a game of luck and skill.
_______________________________________________________________

Target Word: TORSO
Typical Wordle Word Construct: 2 Vowels and one compound/paired consonant (2 letters or 3 letters; seen with >50% frequency)
Today’s Wordle Word Construct: Typical; 2 Vowels (O, O), one  compound consonant (RS)
# Of Guesses:  3.6 WordleBot average per Marc McLaren*; 3 for WordleGuru

Seed Word: TRIAL; I am following my LEARN-W2^© strategy in the selection of the seed word.
Seed Word Revelations: T in the 1^st position and R, but not its position
# Of Possible Solutions after the seed word: >25

Second Word: HOPES; After some deliberation, I picked HOPES with 2 vowels (O and E) and 3 of the 11 most frequent consonants.  The word HOPES did its job effectively narrowing the field to just 1 word – TORSO. 😊

EnotE (Eliminate-not-Enumerate) Strategy deployment: Deployed right after the first word.  Worked effectively

Final thoughts: Wordle is a game of luck and skill.   My strategy LEARN-W2 continues to work beautifully. After yesterday’s mental error, I am pleased to say I am back on track!
