Wordle Bulletin #669 (April 19, 2023) — “New and (improved?) triad”
Note: I am testing a new scheme starting with today’s Wordle. Until now the first two words of the triad represented the 10 most frequent letters (STARE/COLIN/PUDGY or ALTER/SONIC/PUDGY). The 3rd word of the triad excluded the 12th most frequent letter (H) in favor of the 16th most frequent letter (G). I want to change the triad to include H. The new triad is CHAOS/TIMER/DUPLY. The first two words of the triad include H and M (12th and 17th most frequent) and exclude L and N (6th and 9th most frequent). I will give this triad at least 30 days for testing before making a judgement.
Today’s Wordle:
Target Word: THUMP
# Of Guesses: 3.8 WordleBot average per Marc McLaren*,3 for WordleGuru. 😊
Seed Word: CHAOS – Testing a new scheme, as described above.
What we learned from the Seed Word: One consonant (H) in the 2nd spot.
2nd word: TIMER: (2nd word of the new triad). It revealed 2 consonants – T (in the 1st spot) and M but not its spot. At this stage 2 possibilities – THUMB and THUMP. Both the frequency data and usage data pointed to THUMP, which proved to be the answer. My lucky day! 😊
Final Thoughts: Wordle is a game of luck and skill. Sometimes luck favors the game and sometimes it favors the player. Today was a lucky day for me. 😊
