All things wordle

@r0bh - Have a look into most common start/end letters and repeated letters in English etc.

ADIEU - gets the vowel :roll_eyes:
MYTHS - Common letters and Y

Also let’s you know if there’s an O in there or not.
From that, it should be relatively simple.

Last two days, I’d have got it in three.
If I knew about US spelling and wasn’t an idiot.

@gingerbongo - It’s a game. Surely you want to win? May as well just stop training for Cotswold, as that’s “procedural” - just rock up on the day and see what happens? :wink::face_with_hand_over_mouth:

That’s what i’m doing anyway! :rofl:

Maybe. But using the same code every time would make me lose interest. Call it personal preference.

ARIEL yesterday was a good one, but makes the second word less efficient. So I used EARTH today

After ARIEL, you could use DOUGH?

As the people above posted - I’m not mechanising this :slight_smile:

I play sudoku sometimes and I make up my own approach. There are three (I think) standard algorithmic approaches but I’m using probability on the toughest ones at the moment which is quite fun.

For sudoku???
I play that at lunch/supper, too.

X-Wing, swordfish, subset (naked subset), forcing chain…

…I rip through them :smiling_imp:

I mechanise/automate anything I can :rofl::see_no_evil:

I go PIOUS first, then GRATE. Worked well until until today, when my guesses 3 and 3 gave nothing extra (but I Iromman shuffled over the line on the 6th guess)

I used some derogatory term for a Welshman and wasted a go :man_shrugging:t4:

I have no idea what those two guesses are.

Same! I can think of maybe one other possibility that goes with the first four letters, but not two!

Was fortunate to have enough goes to eliminate letters once the first and last letter were established

Ha! Maybe that should be the second wordle for today!! Or shall I send you and @r0bh a message?

I think my problem was that there’s an English word used quite often here in Germany, but maybe not so often in England.
