  1. Letter frequency for use in Wordle and Quordle
    Wordle 3/12
    18 minutes ago, Road Runner said:

    According to some guy on Reddit, there are 2315 5-letter words likely to be used by Wordle.  Among these words, the letters and their frequency of use are shown below.

    Everything in italics is from the Reddit guy.

    Letter Count of letter:

    A - 978

    B - 281

    C - 477

    D - 393

    E - 1232

    F - 229

    G - 311

    H - 389

    I - 671

    J - 27

    K - 210

    L - 718

    M - 316

    N - 575

    O - 754

    P - 367

    Q - 29

    R - 899

    S - 668

    T - 729

    U - 467

    V - 153

    W - 195

    X - 37

    Y - 425

    Z - 40

    This already gives us enough info to know what words are the most potent ones. We can go to a random word maker site and input the 5 most popular letters. This will give us words most likely to guess letters correctly - not taking the position into account.

    The 5 most popular letters are E, A, R, O, T. We input them on the site and it creates 3 words out of them: OATER, ORATE, and ROATE. Hence using any of these 3 words is better than using ANY other initial guess if your goal is to get the best possible outcome for your second guess only. So this doesn’t take any tactics into account. These 3 words are not among the 2315 Wordle words so you will never get a “solved in 1” using them.

    I am convinced.  I will give ROATE a shot.  My ATONE is getting old.  :)

     

    That is all fine and well, but WTF is a roate?  Type of pasta? :D

    Hmm, it sounds like it is an acronym (especially since it was submitted by acrimonious! :D ) .  Are those legal?  SNAFU? brb!

    1. roate

      ROATE means the cumulative net earnings after taxes available to common shareholders, adjusted for tax-affected amortization of intangibles, for the calendar quarters in each calendar year.
