Wordle for May 18, 2023 - #698
Attempt 1
This is the first attempt and we’ll choose a random word to start with.
Let’s start with word after
Attempt for after gives us 0 correct letters, 1 present letters and 4 wrong letters.
If we look into details, we can see that:
Letter a is not present in the word and we will not use it any more
Letter f 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 e 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 5
Some letters are missing (like a, f, t, e) but it’s also important piece of information
Word should contain letters [r]
That was a great guess that limited number of remaining words
Attempt 2
Right now we have 339 words to choose from and best of them seem to be [knurl lurid lordy round unrid]
So far we know that possible letters are:
At position 1: [b c d g h i j k l m n o p q r s u v w x y z]
At position 2: [b c d g h i j k l m n o p q r s u v w x y z]
At position 3: [b c d g h i j k l m n o p q r s u v w x y z]
At position 4: [b c d g h i j k l m n o p q r s u v w x y z]
At position 5: [b c d g h i j k l m n o p q s u v w x y z]
Next guess is world, let’s see what it gives us
Attempt for world gives us 0 correct letters, 2 present letters and 3 wrong letters.
If we look into details, we can see that:
