Wordle for October 20, 2022 - #488
Attempt 1
This is the first attempt and we’ll choose a random word to start with.
Let’s start with word tired
Attempt for tired gives us 0 correct letters, 3 present letters and 2 wrong letters.
If we look into details, we can see that:
Letter t 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 r 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 4
Letter d is on a different spot - this means that it cannot be at position 5
Some letters are missing (like t, r) but it’s also important piece of information
Word should contain letters [i e d]
Could be a better guess
Attempt 2
Right now we have 3167 words to choose from and best of them seem to be [eldin ideal slide decil glide]
So far we know that possible letters are:
At position 1: [a b c d e f g h i j k l m n o p q s u v w x y z]
At position 2: [a b c d e f g h j k l m n o p q s u v w x y z]
At position 3: [a b c d e f g h i j k l m n o p q s u v w x y z]
At position 4: [a b c d f g h i j k l m n o p q s u v w x y z]
At position 5: [a b c e f g h i j k l m n o p q s u v w x y z]
Next guess is ideal, let’s see what it gives us

If we look into details, we can see that:
Letter i is on a different spot - this means that it cannot be at position 1
