    If you play Wordle like this, you should use WAQFS, GLENT, BRICK, JUMPY and VOZHD. This gives you 25 out of 26 letters. Or, do as most speedrunners do: chose 3 or 4 words that contain 15 or 20 different letters and solve every Wordle variant within seconds. The world record for Duotrigordle (32 Wordles at the same time) is at 15.56 seconds right now using this tactic.

    I don’t want to solve Wordle on the last chance, I want to solve it close to the 2nd and 3rd try. That’s what I shoot for and that takes a lot more smarts that getting it on the last chance!!

      Don't worry. This 'system' doesn't get you any closer percentage wise. I've tried it. Just go with how you're doing it. It's more satisfying when you get it anyway.

    Sorry to throw a wrench into this but FIGHT CROWD JUMPY BLANK and VEXES cover twenty-four of the twenty-six letters. Or to mix things up a bit: FIGHT CROWS JUMPY BLANK and VEXED. I would add - one can achieve all five letters but type in an anagram of the secret word which means you lose.

    The only problem with this strategy (regardless of the words chosen) is that you aren't solving it until the sixth line. In this case, you rack up less points. Wordle awards points by number of attempts. My goal is to solve it early on, the third row at the latest.

  • @killercharm
    @killercharm Před 4 měsíci

    Wordle, at least for me, is not about simply solving every time, or about the time it takes to solve it. It's about solving in the fewest guesses. The way he plays he will never get a better score than the low low scores you get from solving the puzzle using every possible turn. The score I aim for is to solve by the second turn, not the sixth. I solve it virtually every time, but winning at the very last possible turn is almost useless.

    My average score, after 500+ games is 3.75. I am happy to keep the average below 4.0 and I strive to get it down to 3.5. I don't think I'll ever get there. And to those that say you must be cheating if you guess it in one try, I have guessed it in one try twice, lemon and slate. Thirty nine times in two tries. I love statistics.

    I always use the same two banker words every time. I aim to solve Wordle in 3 or 4 attempts.
    The banker words use all the vowels and four of the most used consonants. More importantly, the banker words often show green letters, as the positions of the letters in the bankers align with where those letters appear in many words. Sometimes, the first banker will show three letters and depending on which ones are shown, gives the opportunity to go for broke without using the second banker. This allows me to solve the puzzle in 2 or 3 tries. Most of all, be aware of what words have already been used. Entering one that was in an earlier puzzle is not a good move.

      ETA: After 344 wins in a row, I finally was defeated by "waxed". I had narrowed it down to blank, a, blank, e, d. Luck was not with me that day. I was down to waged, waved, waded, waxed, chose wrong on try #5 🙁

  • @vectisbear4064
    @vectisbear4064 Před rokem

    In the above example, my two bankers would have returned, A, S & E in green, as they are in the right place for the answer. There are only four non plural words that fit the three letters and exclude those that were shown as grey by Wordle - ASSED, ASHED, ASKED & ASKEW. Time now to use skill to pick the right one, although with four tries left, working through the options would still solve the puzzle in the six tries allowed.

      It looks like it's literally impossible to do it 100% of the time. The best algorithm I could come up with still gets it wrong 1% of the time. If you can describe a good algorithm, tell me, I'll implement it and run it on every single word to test it out. Or, if you think you can guess any word, I can send you a challenge you'll probably lose.
