Wordle for January 21, 2024 - #946
Attempt 1
This is the first attempt and we’ll choose a random word to start with.
Let’s start with word anker
Attempt for anker gives us 0 correct letters, 2 present letters and 3 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 n is on a different spot - this means that it cannot be at position 2
Letter k 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, k, e) but it’s also important piece of information
Word should contain letters [n r]
That was a great guess that limited number of remaining words
Attempt 2
Right now we have 72 words to choose from and best of them seem to be [north thorn nitro rutin tronc]
So far we know that possible letters are:
At position 1: [b c d f g h i j l m n o p q r s t u v w x y z]
At position 2: [b c d f g h i j l m o p q r s t u v w x y z]

At position 4: [b c d f g h i j l m n o p q r s t u v w x y z]
At position 5: [b c d f g h i j l m n o p q s t u v w x y z]
Next guess is nitro, let’s see what it gives us
Attempt for nitro gives us 1 correct letters, 3 present letters and 1 wrong letters.
If we look into details, we can see that:
Letter n should be at position 1
Letter i 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 3
