Popular Post Dottleshead ★ Posted November 6, 2022 Popular Post Share #5 Posted November 6, 2022 I can't believe it! The word I've used the last 4 days was today's word -- and go figure -- I didn't use it again tonight. I could have had it in one. Ugh.

The possibilities are still State, Stake, Stage, stale, stave. I got 3/6. With State as my 2nd choice. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With State as my 2nd choice. But in my opinion, with a simple multiple word choice option as this one, you should feel just as successful with a 6/6 as a 2/6, because the solution is purely a 1 in 5 chance after STARE. You get lucky, you pick the right one, right off the bat. Unlucky and you might get a 6/6. Intellect/deductive reasoning has nothing to do with it. It's just pure, simple luck. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UglyBob Posted November 6, 2022 Share #12 Posted November 6, 2022 I almost used stale as my opening word. It's a shame i didn't. Should have gone with my first instinct. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should have gone with my first instinct. I hate when that happens. So much so, I now try to always go with my first thought in a multiple choice scenario. It might be the wrong choice, but at least I don't regret having passed over the correct answer. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went with my first guess for the next word and was stymied. My second guess was snot good because g is snot nearly as common as l. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wordle could randomly select any one of the five. It's purely a one in five chance. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But Wordle has a bias for common words which I would think use common letters. We need a bookie for the real answer. Here I went for what I thought was the most common word, State.

But Wordle has a bias for common words which I would think use common letters. We need a bookie for the real answer. Here I went for what I thought was the most common word, State. If Wordle is selecting the words without bias, then from STA_E, STATE is no more likely to be the answer than STAVE. Or STALE, or STAGE, or STAKE. Why would Wordle care about which one has the most common letter in the fourth position? The most common letters are very useful to use in early guess selection when you have no or little idea what the word will be. It makes sense to use L, N, R, S, T, and E to either identify their presence or to eliminate them. But when it is down to only one letter difference in the possible answers, which word has the more used letter or which word is more common in the English language should be of no consequence. As long as all the words in consideration are on the list, of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
