Wordle for May 15, 2024 - #1061
Attempt 1
This is the first attempt and we’ll choose a random word to start with.
Let’s start with word recti
Attempt for recti gives us 0 correct letters, 2 present letters and 3 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 c is on a different spot - this means that it cannot be at position 3
Letter t is not present in the word and we will not use it any more
Letter i is on a different spot - this means that it cannot be at position 5
Some letters are missing (like r, e, t) but it’s also important piece of information
Word should contain letters [c i]
That was a great guess that limited number of remaining words
Attempt 2
Right now we have 130 words to choose from and best of them seem to be [linch colin cling clink calid]
So far we know that possible letters are:
At position 1: [a b c d f g h i j k l m n o p q s u v w x y z]
At position 2: [a b c d 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 d f g h i j k l m n o p q s u v w x y z]
