Wordle for February 16, 2024 - #972
Attempt 1
This is the first attempt and we’ll choose a random word to start with.
Let’s start with word deter
Attempt for deter gives us 0 correct letters, 1 present letters and 4 wrong letters.
If we look into details, we can see that:
Letter d 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 t is on a different spot - this means that it cannot be at position 3
Letter e is not present in the word and we will not use it any more
Letter r is not present in the word and we will not use it any more
Some letters are missing (like d, e, r) but it’s also important piece of information
Word should contain letters [t]
That was a great guess that limited number of remaining words
Attempt 2
Right now we have 553 words to choose from and best of them seem to be [tolan tonal slant plant linty]
So far we know that possible letters are:
At position 1: [a b c f g h i j k l m n o p q s t u v w x y z]
At position 2: [a b c f g h i j k l m n o p q s t u v w x y z]
At position 3: [a b c f g h i j k l m n o p q s u v w x y z]
At position 4: [a b c f g h i j k l m n o p q s t u v w x y z]
At position 5: [a b c f g h i j k l m n o p q s t u v w x y z]
Next guess is plant, let’s see what it gives us
Attempt for plant gives us 1 correct letters, 1 present letters and 3 wrong letters.
If we look into details, we can see that:
Letter p is not present in the word and we will not use it any more
Letter l is not present in the word and we will not use it any more
Letter a should be at position 3
Letter n is not present in the word and we will not use it any more
