Wordle for December 7, 2022 - #536
Attempt 1
This is the first attempt and we’ll choose a random word to start with.
Let’s start with word rated

Attempt for rated gives us 0 correct letters, 1 present letters and 4 wrong letters.
If we look into details, we can see that:
Letter r is not present in the word and we will not use it any more
Letter a is not present in the word and we will not use it any more
Letter t is on a different spot - this means that it cannot be at position 3
Letter e is not present in the word and we will not use it any more
Letter d is not present in the word and we will not use it any more
Some letters are missing (like r, a, e, d) but it’s also important piece of information
Word should contain letters [t]
Not a bad guess in general
Attempt 2
Right now we have 1204 words to choose from and best of them seem to be [unlit linty clint glint flint]
So far we know that possible letters are:
At position 1: [b c f g h i j k l m n o p q s t u v w x y z]
At position 2: [b c f g h i j k l m n o p q s t u v w x y z]

At position 4: [b c f g h i j k l m n o p q s t u v w x y z]
At position 5: [b c f g h i j k l m n o p q s t u v w x y z]
Next guess is unlit, let’s see what it gives us
