Wordle for May 20, 2024 - #1066
Attempt 1
This is the first attempt and we’ll choose a random word to start with.
Let’s start with word hired
Attempt for hired gives us 2 correct letters, 1 present letters and 2 wrong letters.
If we look into details, we can see that:
Letter h is not present in the word and we will not use it any more
Letter i should be at position 2
Letter r is on a different spot - this means that it cannot be at position 3
Letter e should be at position 4
Letter d 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 h, d) but it’s also important piece of information
Word should contain letters [i r e]
That was a great guess that limited number of remaining words
Attempt 2
Right now we have 52 words to choose from and best of them seem to be [liter tiler niter oiler citer]
So far we know that possible letters are:
At position 1: [a b c e f g i j k l m n o p q r s t u v w x y z]
At position 2: [i]
At position 3: [a b c e f g i j k l m n o p q s t u v w x y z]
At position 4: [e]
At position 5: [a b c e f g i j k l m n o p q r s t u v w x y z]
Next guess is tiler, let’s see what it gives us
Attempt for tiler gives us 3 correct letters, 0 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 l is not present in the word and we will not use it any more
Letter r should 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

This was a waste, almost no valuable information…
