Streak of 50 ended in failure, largely due to poor choices for lines 3 and 4.

Missed letter in row 2 was the main problem. You'd have got it if you hadn't forgotten about it!

Oh wow, I didn't even realise I'd done that.

I also didn't manage to solve this one. Too many possible solutions for the letters I already had.

There is this neat link here by the NY times. It scores and analyzes your last Wordl game
https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/202 ... e-bot.html
First solve the puzzle, then go to that link. Maybe it can help - especially @Illu - understand what went wrong ^^

[pjknibbs]

Looks like you actually have to sign up for a NYT account to access that, Tamina.

It showed me the login at first as well, but after completing a Wordle game, the login stuff did not appear the second time visiting this site.

Thanks for sharing! I had a look. (I had to register a free account.) While the analysis is certainly interesting, it's mostly statistics. So I don't think it helps much with figuring out what was wrong or what you could do better the next time, besides what we have discussed in this topic already. After all it mostly boils down to using words with as many letters as possible which you haven't eliminated yet. Of course, you could go into more detail: Thinking a guess or more ahead, i.e. if the word I enter gives me more hints to the final guess, which words remain with the possible additional letters. Or going into the statistics of which letters are more commonly used in words than others. However, since often enough I'm having a hard time coming up with more than one or two words for the available hints, and I'm usually going with the first one that comes to my mind, I don't think either of the two mentioned options is going to work out for me in the long run.^^

Evidently, todays Wordle was different, as I did in fact come up with several (wrong^^) guesses for the available hints in a short amount of time. So not going with the first word I had a mind, but trying to think of other suitable ones instead, would indeed have helped.

So much for thinking ahead. Can't even focus on the current guess.

Luck, I just couldn't think about any other word with those letters Wordle Bot proved me wrong - there were. Thank goodness I am stupid with words.
