Wordle for May 5, 2024 - #1051
Attempt 1
This is the first attempt and we’ll choose a random word to start with.
Let’s start with word lower
Attempt for lower gives us 0 correct letters, 2 present letters and 3 wrong letters.
If we look into details, we can see that:
Letter l is on a different spot - this means that it cannot be at position 1
Letter o is not present in the word and we will not use it any more
Letter w 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 r is not present in the word and we will not use it any more
Some letters are missing (like o, w, r) but it’s also important piece of information
Word should contain letters [l e]
That was a great guess that limited number of remaining words
Attempt 2
Right now we have 270 words to choose from and best of them seem to be [blent glent dealt delta eland]
So far we know that possible letters are:
At position 1: [a b c d e f g h i j k m n p q s t u v x y z]
At position 2: [a b c d e f g h i j k l m n p q s t u v x y z]
At position 3: [a b c d e f g h i j k l m n p q s t u v x y z]
At position 4: [a b c d f g h i j k l m n p q s t u v x y z]
At position 5: [a b c d e f g h i j k l m n p q s t u v x y z]
Next guess is glent, let’s see what it gives us
Attempt for glent gives us 0 correct letters, 2 present letters and 3 wrong letters.
If we look into details, we can see that:
Letter g 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 e is on a different spot - this means that it cannot be at position 3
Letter n 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 g, n, t) but it’s also important piece of information
Word should contain letters [l e]
Could be a better guess
Attempt 3
Right now we have 93 words to choose from and best of them seem to be [heald delay decal padle pedal]
So far we know that possible letters are:
At position 1: [a b c d e f h i j k m p q s u v x y z]
At position 2: [a b c d e f h i j k m p q s u v x y z]
At position 3: [a b c d f h i j k l m p q s u v x y z]
At position 4: [a b c d f h i j k l m p q s u v x y z]
At position 5: [a b c d e f h i j k l m p q s u v x y z]
Next guess is delay, let’s see what it gives us
Attempt for delay gives us 3 correct letters, 1 present letters and 1 wrong letters.
If we look into details, we can see that:
Letter d should be at position 1
Letter e should be at position 2
Letter l is on a different spot - this means that it cannot be at position 3
Letter a should be at position 4
Letter y 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 y) but it’s also important piece of information
Word should contain letters [l e d a]
That was a great guess that limited number of remaining words
Attempt 4

So far we know that possible letters are:
At position 1: [d]
At position 2: [e]
At position 3: [a b c d f h i j k m p q s u v x z]
At position 4: [a]
At position 5: [a b c d e f h i j k l m p q s u v x z]
It must be decal
