Wordle for February 18, 2024 - #974
Attempt 1
This is the first attempt and we’ll choose a random word to start with.
Let’s start with word tiled
Attempt for tiled gives us 1 correct letters, 2 present letters and 2 wrong letters.
If we look into details, we can see that:
Letter t is not present in the word and we will not use it any more
Letter i should be at position 2
Letter l 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 4
Letter d is on a different spot - this means that it cannot be at position 5
We got information about the correct letters and it should make next attempt easier
Some letters are missing (like t, l) but it’s also important piece of information
Word should contain letters [i e d]
That was a great guess that limited number of remaining words
