Wordle 526 4/6

 

[OmCheeto]

Did you mean 88 words instead of 88%? I got 81 words which is close enough, but 88% of the solution words for the particular letters of 526 is not possible.

88%.
Without knowing what the first 10 eliminated letters were in the first two guesses, I ignored that fact.
All I did was sort all the solution words by the second and fifth letters and counted the number of words where there were 4 or more matches for the letter pair. Only 287 words were eliminated.

What method did you use to get 81? I feel we're talking about two different things here.

We are talking about two different things. Mine is the count of words that have the same letters in positions 2 and 5 as the answer to 526.

How many characteristics, six or seven? Or five, because nobody has a one-guess-only.

Seven.

The orange curve is a normal distribution with the same ##N, \mu, \sigma## as my discrete statistics in blue.

Although I've plotted a zero for one guess, it doesn't make any difference to the calculation. (I'm doing this via an Excel spreadsheet.)

##N=168\, , \, \mu=4.298\, , \,\sigma =1.208##

Makes sense. My individual conditions (smaller active vocabulary as a non-native speaker, tendency to complicate things, solving it more in the style of Mastermind (from Parker IIRC) than wordle) explain the higher variance. I just asked whether we consider 7 as unsolved or disregard the unsolved which would make a significant difference.
