Luck, or am I very, very clever?
Had my usual morning go at Wordle just now. Got it right with my first guess! I didn't know I was that clever

Given enough tries then statistically you are not unlikely to get a first hit eventually

Yes true... but
I suppose that depends on when you started using your usual word?
I don't think it repeats (or hasn't meant to yet)
- so there's a growing number of things it ain't going to be
if you've chosen to start with one that's already gone then tough!
And I suppose Kiloran ought to change their starting word ?

We tackle the Wordle after lunch most days and I got a “hole in one” a few months ago with ABOUT. Not the best starting word ever, and I certainly haven’t used it since.
Good luck for tomorrow everyone!

Don't know if any of you have tried Sedescordle - You have 21 guesses to solve 16 simultaneous Wordles.
I can usually manage it, frequently with one go to spare. Several times I have managed in in 19 goes, but only once with 18.
Given that I usually start with 4 trial words, getting it in 20 means every subsequent go is correct. Gettiing it in 18 meant that 2 of my trial words happened to hit.

I've never tried it before, but gave it a go. I did it in 19 goes. I only use 3 trial words, so all subsequent guesses were correct. I use this technique for quordle and octordle, with 3 words I usually find enough words have enough letters in to figure out the rest.

You can find a list of all historic Wordle words online. I used this to pick one that hadn't come up (skirt) and eventually got a figurative hole in one with it.
Haven't checked my current starter word though.
Went cold turkey when I accidentally broke a streak of about 150, but am back in again. Damn that "you are on a xx day winning streak" message when you fire it up. Sucks you in.

Re: Luck, or am I very, very clever?
I got today's Wordle on the second guess
On the skill rating analysis for this Wordle however I got a lowly score of 70 out of 99 against a NYT average skill score of 78
So did loads of people get it on the first guess or is thecscoring system suspect?
