  • 5 for me too. I feel well and truly put in my place by VB’s aggregate stats… I’m a noob and thought I was doing well on an 8 day streak, but 50% of my wins have taken 5 goes :(

  • More than 50% in 3 or fewer guesses is ridic, right?! Go ahead and post your 5, you too @greeno

    I quite like taking a look at the progression of other Wordles.

    I'm afraid I'm doing the boring thing of using statistics to have a killer first word that ticks off most common vowels and consonants in their most common positions in 5-letter words, and then I have a rough decision tree that seeks out the next word based on what I've seen to expose the remaining vowels and next most likely consonants.

    My starter word that I've settled on is SOARE - a young hawk. But then... my 1 guess win of ACUTE was me experimenting with vowel heavy words, so perhaps I should shake it up again.

    I'm pretty good at getting them in 3 guesses now, including today's which looked like this...

    Wordle 237 3/6

    ⬛⬛⬛🟨🟨
    🟩⬛🟩🟨🟨
    🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩

    I don't play in hard mode, as then I only average 4 or 5 guesses.

  • Wordle 237 5/6*

    🟨⬛⬛⬛🟨
    ⬛⬛🟨🟩⬛
    ⬛⬛⬛🟩🟩
    🟩⬛⬛🟩🟩
    🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩

    And this is how I’m sitting. I’m a clear 4 banger, I wordle first thing when I wake up and I’m swill over skill.

    (Hard mode enabled prob midway thru)
