Wordle for October 18, 2022 - #486
Attempt 1
This is the first attempt and we’ll choose a random word to start with.
Let’s start with word tenor
Attempt for tenor gives us 0 correct letters, 2 present letters and 3 wrong letters.
If we look into details, we can see that:
Letter t is on a different spot - this means that it cannot be at position 1
Letter e is on a different spot - this means that it cannot be at position 2
Letter n is not present in the word and we will not use it any more
Letter o is not present in the word and we will not use it any more
Letter r is not present in the word and we will not use it any more
Some letters are missing (like n, o, r) but it’s also important piece of information
Word should contain letters [t e]
Could be a better guess
Attempt 2
Right now we have 2190 words to choose from and best of them seem to be [adlet lated ethal lathe lithe]
So far we know that possible letters are:
At position 1: [a b c d e f g h i j k l m p q s u v w x y z]
At position 2: [a b c d f g h i j k l m p q s t u v w x y z]
At position 3: [a b c d e f g h i j k l m p q s t u v w x y z]
At position 4: [a b c d e f g h i j k l m p q s t u v w x y z]
At position 5: [a b c d e f g h i j k l m p q s t u v w x y z]
Next guess is lithe, let’s see what it gives us
Attempt for lithe gives us 0 correct letters, 3 present letters and 2 wrong letters.
If we look into details, we can see that:
Letter l is not present in the word and we will not use it any more
Letter i is on a different spot - this means that it cannot be at position 2
Letter t is on a different spot - this means that it cannot be at position 3
Letter h is not present in the word and we will not use it any more
Letter e is on a different spot - this means that it cannot be at position 5
Some letters are missing (like l, h) but it’s also important piece of information
Word should contain letters [t e i]
That was a great guess that limited number of remaining words
Attempt 3
Right now we have 611 words to choose from and best of them seem to be [steid edict itemy exist evict]
So far we know that possible letters are:
At position 1: [a b c d e f g i j k m p q s u v w x y z]
At position 2: [a b c d f g j k m p q s t u v w x y z]
At position 3: [a b c d e f g i j k m p q s u v w x y z]
At position 4: [a b c d e f g i j k m p q s t u v w x y z]
At position 5: [a b c d f g i j k m p q s t u v w x y z]
Next guess is exist, let’s see what it gives us
That’s the correct answer! The word is exist!
To be honest that was a pretty lucky guess, but it worked out well.
Conclusion
Today’s word is exist and it took 3 attempts to guess it
