Wordle for May 23, 2023 - #703
Attempt 1
This is the first attempt and we’ll choose a random word to start with.
Let’s start with word nurse
Attempt for nurse gives us 0 correct letters, 2 present letters and 3 wrong letters.
If we look into details, we can see that:
Letter n is not present in the word and we will not use it any more
Letter u 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 3
Letter s 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 n, u, s) 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 457 words to choose from and best of them seem to be [alert artel later ratel taler]
So far we know that possible letters are:
At position 1: [a b c d e f g h i j k l m o p q r t v w x y z]
At position 2: [a b c d e f g h i j k l m o p q r t v w x y z]
At position 3: [a b c d e f g h i j k l m o p q t v w x y z]
At position 4: [a b c d e f g h i j k l m o p q r t v w x y z]
At position 5: [a b c d f g h i j k l m o p q r t v w x y z]
Next guess is alert, let’s see what it gives us
Attempt for alert gives us 3 correct letters, 0 present letters and 2 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 l should be at position 2
Letter e should be at position 3
Letter r should be at position 4
Letter t 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 a, t) but it’s also important piece of information
Word should contain letters [r e l]
That was a great guess that limited number of remaining words
Attempt 3
Right now we have 1 words to choose from and best of them seem to be [clerk]
So far we know that possible letters are:
At position 1: [b c d e f g h i j k l m o p q r v w x y z]
At position 2: [l]
At position 3: [e]
At position 4: [r]
At position 5: [b c d f g h i j k l m o p q r v w x y z]
