Wordle for January 15, 2024 - #940
Attempt 1
This is the first attempt and we’ll choose a random word to start with.
Let’s start with word repot
Attempt for repot 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 p is not present in the word and we will not use it any more
Letter o 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
Some letters are missing (like r, e, p, o, t) 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 1099 words to choose from and best of them seem to be [nidal laund ulnad bland gland]
So far we know that possible letters are:
At position 1: [a b c d f g h i j k l m n q s u v w x y z]
At position 2: [a b c d f g h i j k l m n q s u v w x y z]
At position 3: [a b c d f g h i j k l m n q s u v w x y z]
At position 4: [a b c d f g h i j k l m n q s u v w x y z]
At position 5: [a b c d f g h i j k l m n q s u v w x y z]
Next guess is bland, let’s see what it gives us
Attempt for bland gives us 0 correct letters, 2 present letters and 3 wrong letters.
If we look into details, we can see that:
Letter b 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 a is not present in the word and we will not use it any more
Letter n 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
Some letters are missing (like b, a, d) but it’s also important piece of information
Word should contain letters [l n]
That was a great guess that limited number of remaining words
Attempt 3
Right now we have 15 words to choose from and best of them seem to be [linch lunch lynch lysin unsly]
So far we know that possible letters are:
At position 1: [c f g h i j k l m n q s u v w x y z]
At position 2: [c f g h i j k m n q s u v w x y z]
At position 3: [c f g h i j k l m n q s u v w x y z]
At position 4: [c f g h i j k l m q s u v w x y z]
At position 5: [c f g h i j k l m n q s u v w x y z]
Next guess is lunch, let’s see what it gives us
That’s the correct answer! The word is lunch!
To be honest that was a pretty lucky guess, but it worked out well.
Conclusion
Today’s word is lunch and it took 3 attempts to guess it
