Wordle analysis
Every day I check the Wordle Bot to help analyze my guessing game. You can check your Wordles with Wordle Bot right here.
I went with SAINT because I was really trying to think of a Christmas word and remembered using it as one of my guesses yesterday. I thought, who knows, why not give it a try? Alas, I was only left with a green ‘A’ and 198 words. Many of the possible words I found had the letters I ended up using in my second guess. I almost guessed all the new letters, but I thought I might get lucky and get the Wordle on my second try. EARLY was very close. I now had three green boxes and could think of only one possible solution: EAGLE, for the win!
