Wordle for January 20, 2023 - #580
Attempt 1
This is the first attempt and we’ll choose a random word to start with.
Let’s start with word wrest
Attempt for wrest gives us 0 correct letters, 3 present letters and 2 wrong letters.
If we look into details, we can see that:
Letter w 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 e is on a different spot - this means that it cannot be at position 3
Letter s 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 5
Some letters are missing (like w, s) but it’s also important piece of information
Word should contain letters [r e t]
That was a great guess that limited number of remaining words
Attempt 2
Right now we have 108 words to choose from and best of them seem to be [alter later ratel taler antre]
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 r t u v x y z]
At position 2: [a b c d e f g h i j k l m n o p q t u v x y z]

Letter a is on a different spot - this means that it cannot be at position 2
