I've been playing Wordl since before it was a NY Times game and I've guessed the world correctly on the second try only 5 times. Looking at the bot's analysis, consistently there's tens of thousands of people who guess it on the second word. What is their starting guess? Is there a way to find out?
As we'll come to find out when they destroy the world, the bot is not your friend.

There are Wordle Word of the Day Hints on line, OP. People cheat (If you want to call it cheating). You can google and get three hints. For instance a clue about the word's meaning, the letter it starts with, which vowels are used, etc. You can also just scroll down to the bottom of the hints page and get the word. Some people are so crazily competitive with figuring out the word in the least amount of tries and posting about it. Isn't the point of the puzzle the process of figuring the word out in 6 tries? It's not about being an alphabet psychic.

You can cheat by going into a new browser and playing the game to get the answer, then go back to your usual browser now that you already know the word.

I've guessed it on the second try 16 out of 327 times, and that's usually due to luck. I have several different starting words I use and I switch them up from day to day. I try to start with a word that has at least three vowels and a couple of the more common consonants. But it's still mostly luck that I chose a good word first. Some of my start words are: AUDIO, SUITE, MEDIA, RADIO, CAUSE, NOISE and ROUSE.

It happens. I got it in two for one of the words last week. I got three correct letters in my first guess, two of which were in the correct position, with the third letter only having one logical place to go. The solution became pretty clear.
Similarly, I remember failing to the correct even after getting four letters in the correct position right off the bat. The problem was I didn't have the first letter, and there were numerous words it could be. I just didn't guess the right one and ran through five incorrect guesses. I think the trick there would have been to find a new word to put in that contained as many of the possible letters it could be and see if you could find the right one or eliminate some.

According to my stats I've gotten Wordle on the second guess 10 times (out of 156 games played). But early on my stats were screwed up when I went back and forth between phone and computer to solve so I think I have perhaps another 4 or so. I got it on the first try one time, when I was using "Alien" as my starter word. My average solve is fewer than 4, which means I get a lot of solves in 3, but today's puzzle took me 5, because like r95, I tried multiple letters in position two before settling on the correct one. Last week was a banner week for me and I got it in 2 guesses three times. But that is far from the norm. Karma was probably taking notes, so I'll be getting a lot of 5 guess solves to make up, I imagine.

P.S. On the Wordle page, top left, are 3 short horizontal bars. Tap and open.
Now you have several other games to play, one free per day like with Wordle. My two favorites are Spelling Bee and Letter Boxed.
A. Spelling Bee: Each word you "find"---
1. Must be 4 letters or more.
2. Must use the letter in the middle.
3. Can repeat any letters shown.
4. Will eventually be your last "free" attempt. 😔
B. Letter Boxed: A game of thinking ahead!
1. The last letter of each of your allotted words is the first letter of your next one. (So finding, say, "Xerox" might not help!)
2. No letter is able to link to another in its same row. However small the angle or short, all links must cross the open center space somehow.

R119, It was totally on a whim, with only one vowel! I just look at the keyboard, and think, "Oh, that sounds good!" Today I chose a word with the correct first letter and 3 of the rest, in the wrong order but still!
Wordle-makers seem partial to words with several possibilities---blame, frame, crane, crate, etc., depending on what's blank.
I enjoy feeling clever, saying to myself such things as, "But there is no English word ending in 'xz'" or the like!

I notice that with today's (7/26) word, so far 1.6% of the people playing actually got it on their first guess. That's pretty high.
Also, 16.4% have gotten it by the second guess. Typically that figure is in the neighborhood of 2%.

But by looking at the list of words that have been the previous solutions, I was able to eliminate two of those words as they've already been used.

In theory, they would not reuse the same winning word, r140. My sister is a bit obsessive compulsive and she keeps an easily searchable spread sheet to help her recognize words that have been winning words before. (In fact, I think they keep such a list available to the public somewhere, but it's not easily searchable. Wordlebot claims that they only keep an active dictionary of 400 words or so, but that would be used up in a year, so I'm not sure that's true. In fact, I will link wordfinders list below

Do any of you use the bot's strategy to put in a totally different word in your second guess that contains no letter that was already indicated to be in the solution from your first guess?
Example: The bot always starts with SLATE, and often gets one or more letters out of that guess. But then, often puts CRONY in for the second guess. It would appear these two words eliminate so much that the bot can get it in three.
I actually did that for Tuesday's and got it in three.

I've found that the vowel "u" becomes apparent when you've tried a/e/i/o, but m and n are more common than g and r; also, if you've used s, t, m and n and the mystery word is not apparent, r pops as the obvious missing consonant.

In the analysis of my game, it told me that my second word was a "solid guess," then went on to say that I'd narrowed it down to just six remaining words.
But that wasn't true. My third word was not only valid, but quite common, and yet it wasn't on the 'bot's list of six words.
I solved the game with my fourth word, which was on the 'bot's list.

From what I could figure, there were only two possible words left, and this is where it came in handy that I knew one of those two had already been the solution to a prior game, so putting in the other was a no-brainier.

I can see getting it in two guesses today (I got it in four; double letters always flummox me), but there is no way 0.3% of people playing use today's word as their starting guess. I don't understand the point of cheating on Wordle. Why bother?

R231 I'm the type of player who doesn't use a regular starter word. I mix it up all the time. I try to think up words with two vowels, but that's about it. Often the 'bot later tells me that was a "unique" word to start with. .. Anyway, let's just say, my starter word for Monday's game was a GREAT choice.

R236 If you have the NYT 'bot analyze your game play, it takes you through each step of play and compares your game with other players. Thereby, you can see what percent of players solved the game at each step of play. So when you get to the sixth and final step,it shows you how many players have solved the puzzle by then. It's generally somewhere in the neighborhood of 99%. but with harder words like NINJA, it was down to 92% indicating 8% of players failed. The bot also gives the average number of steps it took players to solve the thing for each game.

ElderLez- when you get to the end of the game and it applauds you , there's a chart that keeps track of all your wins and losses. That page is called statistics. Underneath the chart is the sentence :
"Wordlebot gives an analysis of your guesses. Did you beat the bot? ›"
If you click on that it becomes a link. That will take you to the wordlebot. The wordlebot will go through your solutions word by word and tell you whether you were skillful, lucky or neither. If you keep scrolling past all of that, there will be charts of solutions, 1-6 and you can see what percentage of people have solved in 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6 guesses and you can also see what were some of the guesses they made on the way to solving. Today nearly 20% of people failed to solve - that's a huge percentage of failure for wordle solutions. I feel very lucky to have gotten it in 4.

I think there are at least two versions of the Wordle app. I have the iPhone NYT games app which is included with my Times subscription and it does not have a link to the bot. I looked in the Apple app store and see there is a paid version specifically for Wordle, which I'm guessing is what you're using menluvinguy which makes sense that they'd include the bot link but not in the free NYT games version I'm using (when I play on my phone). Maybe there's another version for Android? And ElderLez, are you a Times subscriber, or paying for either the games app or the Wordle app? I think if you're paying for a subscription they should include the bot analysis link.
Meanwhile, got today's in 3 (which kind of surprised me as my solve was what I'd call an educated-SWAG).

The issue with today's word is that even if you have the last four letters, you might lose, as there are so many rhymes where only the first letter is different. You might want to figure those out and put in a totally different elimination word using as many of those as possible.

r254, you're correct about today's word, and that was the downfall for a friend of mine who ran out of options before she could solve.

Yes, today's word is not one that I'd consider fair use in Wordle because i) R268 is correct; 2) they've generally avoided words that repeat consonants so using a word that repeats vowels seems designed to trip up those of us who play by observation/deduction. That said, if you hit on the two vowels in sequence the answer wasn't hard... but it took me four guesses.
And I don't believe for one second that 0.3% of users got this one on the first try. Why do people cheat like this?

Today's was hard due to the word including an uncommon letter which always trips me up and shows my over-reliance on the structure of the game over word composition (or as the bot proclaims, paraphrasing: my training suggests that words with this letter are unlikely). That said, there's no way that 0.2% of players start with today's word if we're to believe the bot's analysis. If you started with any word that contains this letter, you'd be starting with a word that ranks tied for second-to-last in letter frequency among all five-letter words — IOW, a fools errand.
I got it in 5 guesses today (my average is 3.2).
I'm, of course, dancing around just writing out the word but it brings up a question: do we want to put the daily word out there knowing this thread contains spoilers? It's not like there aren't dozens of sites that give hints if not just outright reveal the answer. We've avoided it, but it makes discussing the game a bit more complex.

My next guess is a perfectly good word, yet wasn't included with the list of three. It even gave me one of the letters I needed.

---Nouns aren't pluralized (e.g., " birds," "noses," etc.); and verbs aren't 2nd-Person Singular (e.g., "walks," "reads," etc.).
---If you guess a consonant on first try that isn't in the correct place, next try it as the initial letter (if still feasible).
---If you know "really helpful initial words to use all the time," so does the NYT.

R353: me too re different start word. Adds a small level of challenge.

So the 'bot decided to open with a different word for Thursday's game and got one letter in the correct position, and one in the wrong position. .. If it had gone with its standard opening word, it would have only gotten the one in the wrong position. .. Hmmmm.

I prefer "Connections" myself. Sometimes those fuckers are hard!

A lot of players will be solving Friday's with their first guess. It's a very common opening word.

Woo-hoo! Got it in two. (Saturday)

Two too. But busted Connections for only the second time ever.

Two should be fairly easy for many players if they tend to go with a couple of the most common starter words.

I've been doing Wordle every day for about a year and a half and have solved it on the second guess more than 50 times. I vary my starter words because using the same one every day would be boring, but I always use a starter word with at least three different vowels.

1/15:
FINALLY! Got it on #2!
First guess got me one letter in the correct spot, no others.

Got it in two today (1/18) but for the first time the bot said I had a skill level of 99! Usually when I get it in two the bot says I'm really, really lucky.

Sunday, 1/21----In two! 🥳 Got a "magnificent"!
Had a couple letters but in wrong slots, initial guess.

Guessing Wordle on the second try is largely luck, as the WordleBot so bitchily reminds me whenever I do.

The automatic response for solving Wordle on the first guess is "Genius." That strikes me as ridiculous, because solving it on the first guess is pure luck and nothing else. Luck is definitely involved when solving it in two guesses, but skill and strategy also play a part.

Thurs., 1/25: Almost amazing, dammit!
Initial guess had 4️⃣ CORRECT letters!
Still took me to #3 to get the full word. Thanks a lot, Wordle! 😡

I had zero letters in my first try R372 and also got it in three.

Sat., 1/27---👍In 2!
Initial word = final letter plus 2 in wrong spots. Guessed right!

See, r373, that's frustrating to me! It's like, "Oh, man! Why didn't I choose Word #2 first!" 😄

Saturday I got letters 1, 3, 5 right off and it still took me four guesses.

Also DLers should easily get the blue line in connections.

Does it bother people that the winning word is never repeated but you don’t know what those words are? I’m assuming there’s a list somewhere but can’t decide if it would be cheating to look at it.

R379 The list is available at several websites. The one I use is at the link.
Nice, because it gives you one list for the last seven days, and another for all words used in alphabetical order.

Last week it took me all six attempts to guess ALOOF. I don't know why. ALOOF is a favorite word.

Sunday's is proving hard. I got it in five, but so far fail rate is 7%.

I got it in five too. I've been getting a lot of fives lately.

So Monday's proved to be a fail for me. It's been awhile, but at least I'm failing with nearly 12% of players. Ha!
| by Anonymous | reply 386 | January 29, 2024 8:23 AM |
I also needed five guesses to get Sunday's. I get most of them in three or four, with an occasional two-guesser and, on rare occasions, a "Phew."

Took me 5 for Sunday, but I got lucky for Monday's, and got it in 3. Two hard ones in a row though. Sorry about 386 failing. My longest streak was 200 something, and I was very disappointed the day I went down in flames.

Thursday's game will be "GENIUS" for quite a few players, since the solution is within the Top 20 starter words.
