Wordle for December 31, 2022 - #560
Attempt 1
This is the first attempt and we’ll choose a random word to start with.
Let’s start with word retch
Attempt for retch gives us 0 correct letters, 0 present letters and 5 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 e is not present in the word and we will not use it any more
Letter t is not present in the word and we will not use it any more
Letter c is not present in the word and we will not use it any more
Letter h is not present in the word and we will not use it any more
Some letters are missing (like r, e, t, c, h) but it’s also important piece of information
So far we don’t know any of the letters!
Not a bad guess in general
Attempt 2
Right now we have 1567 words to choose from and best of them seem to be [nodal danli nidal laund ulnad]
So far we know that possible letters are:
At position 1: [a b d f g i j k l m n o p q s u v w x y z]
At position 2: [a b d f g i j k l m n o p q s u v w x y z]

At position 4: [a b d f g i j k l m n o p q s u v w x y z]
At position 5: [a b d f g i j k l m n o p q s u v w x y z]
Next guess is ulnad, let’s see what it gives us
Attempt for ulnad gives us 1 correct letters, 2 present letters and 2 wrong letters.
If we look into details, we can see that:
Letter u is not present in the word and we will not use it any more
Letter l is on a different spot - this means that it cannot be at position 2
Letter n should be at position 3
Letter a is on a different spot - this means that it cannot be at position 4
Letter d is not present in the word and we will not use it any more
We got information about the correct letters and it should make next attempt easier
Some letters are missing (like u, d) but it’s also important piece of information
