Understanding the Wordle bot

This thread may contain spoilers for the day’s puzzle.

by Anonymousreply 15November 11, 2024 2:19 AM

If you stated with PLATE today, you got three yellow boxes, L, A and E.

More people went with LASER as their second move than an other word, but the bot says REGAL is the more “efficient” guess. S is a more common letter than G, so why is REGAL more efficient. The bot’s next choices were RENAL, LEGAL and DECAL

(spoiler cont’d)

I got lucky on Try 2 with SCALE (4 yellow tiles) after striking out with ROUND. I try a new starting word every day justvto add a challenge.

I’m trying to learn the logic of the bot. Unfortunately, it does not explain its reasoning . I suppose it has every possible word in mind when it says REGAL is more efficient than LASER, but that doesn’t help a feeble mind.

Aisle is always my first guess

I go with *adieu*.

Oh, and I got the word on the third guess, but the bot gave me a low score because it said I made a lucky guess.

I hate the Wordle bot.

The Wordle Bot is a smug bitch, it's best to ignore her.

I hate that the New York Times owns it now. Been engaging with it less and less.

IRATE has always been my first guess and these days it’s very appropriate. If nothing comes up from that I go with COUGH which covers all the vowels.

As for the word itself, I just think about what words Americans like considering it’s an American game. Sometimes I get fucked up because I just don’t get American spelling of words so miss the obvious.

It's some AI thing, not meant to make sense. It's second guesses always conveniently contain one or two needed letters. ALWAYS.

Jeez. I thought I'd get at least one "kudos."

Kudos is a horrible start word.

I have been playing PLANE forever, waiting for my plane to come in!

Aisle is my first and I came a little the day it worked in one guess
