Wordle 1,029 5/6
Keep in mind that English is my second language and I don't really keep score of which words are used. So there's a lot of guessing going on here. I suspect that explains a lot. Sometimes though, no hits with the first word contains almost as much information as 3-4. As I wrote it was a pretty lucky shot! :Pjack action said:Wordle 1,028 5/6
You use the same first guess as I do but I'm really curious about why you would choose that word as a second guess.
To my count, the first word left 749 possibilities. If your second guess wasn't right at all, it would have left you with 306 words, which is a lot. If my second guess CLONS wouldn't have been right at all, I would have been left with 48 words. In this case, I had only 15 possibilities left. Personally, I don't think too much and used the easy method of eliminating the most popular letters until I found at least 4 of them before guessing - unless I'm very lucky and a few fall into their right place.
Why choose such a word? The letters WYH wouldn't give you much information if they weren't in the word we are looking for.
This is not "a tiny smidge" of luck, it's "a hole-in-one on a windy day" kind of luck!

Good question. I'd expect the English countries to use a period.Orodruin said:Why does everybody have the comma in the Wordle number while I do not? Is it regional based on the client or platform based? (I am using an iPhone with Safari browser from Sweden)
BIPM (IIRC the source correctly) recommends the use of a space rather than a comma (used in North America) or a period (used in Europe) to avoid confusion. That may be the reason it was developed that way in the software.Orodruin said:Why does everybody have the comma in the Wordle number while I do not?
Oh yeah. I got that backwards didn't I?Mister T said:BIPM (IIRC the source correctly) recommends the use of a space rather than a comma (used in North America) or a period (used in Europe) to avoid confusion. That may be the reason it was developed that way in the software.
Also known as a fourth guess?Orodruin said:After some thinking I decided to go for another third guess β¦
I'm not sure if the UK uses the period or the comma as the separator.sbrothy said:Oh yeah. I got that backwards didn't I?
Now I'm confused. Never mind.
My point was that the software seems to be using a comma for everyone except me ... unless everybody else inserts a comma by hand.Mister T said:BIPM (IIRC the source correctly) recommends the use of a space rather than a comma (used in North America) or a period (used in Europe) to avoid confusion.

Nah, what would have been my third guess had I followed my gut feeling was the correct. Instead I entered a different word for my third guess and only then entered what I thought of first as the fourth guess.Mister T said:Also known as a fourth guess?
I had the same issue, only after my first guess. So I had two second guesses, lolOrodruin said:Drat! That was the first word that popped into my mind after two guesses! After some thinking I decided to go for another third guess β¦
