Wordle for December 25, 2022 - #554
Attempt 1
This is the first attempt and we’ll choose a random word to start with.
Let’s start with word drone
Attempt for drone gives us 0 correct letters, 2 present letters and 3 wrong letters.
If we look into details, we can see that:
Letter d is not present in the word and we will not use it any more
Letter r is on a different spot - this means that it cannot be at position 2
Letter o is not present in the word and we will not use it any more
Letter n 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 d, o, n) but it’s also important piece of information
Word should contain letters [r e]
That was a great guess that limited number of remaining words
Attempt 2
Right now we have 497 words to choose from and best of them seem to be [alert alter later ratel taler]
So far we know that possible letters are:
At position 1: [a b c e f g h i j k l m p q r s t u v w x y z]
At position 2: [a b c e f g h i j k l m p q s t u v w x y z]
At position 3: [a b c e f g h i j k l m p q r s t u v w x y z]
At position 4: [a b c e f g h i j k l m p q r s t u v w x y z]
At position 5: [a b c f g h i j k l m p q r s t u v w x y z]
Next guess is alert, let’s see what it gives us
Attempt for alert gives us 1 correct letters, 3 present letters and 1 wrong letters.
If we look into details, we can see that:
Letter a is on a different spot - this means that it cannot be at position 1
Letter l 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 3
Letter r should be at position 4
