Wordle for July 20, 2024 - #1127
Attempt 1
This is the first attempt and we’ll choose a random word to start with.
Let’s start with word gluer
Attempt for gluer gives us 0 correct letters, 0 present letters and 5 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 not present in the word and we will not use it any more
Letter u 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 r is not present in the word and we will not use it any more
Some letters are missing (like g, l, u, e, r) but it’s also important piece of information
So far we don’t know any of the letters!
Not a bad guess in general
Attempt 2
Right now we have 1155 words to choose from and best of them seem to be [idant stand ahint hiant snath]
So far we know that possible letters are:
At position 1: [a b c d f h i j k m n o p q s t v w x y z]
At position 2: [a b c d f h i j k m n o p q s t v w x y z]
At position 3: [a b c d f h i j k m n o p q s t v w x y z]
At position 4: [a b c d f h i j k m n o p q s t v w x y z]
At position 5: [a b c d f h i j k m n o p q s t v w x y z]
Next guess is stand, let’s see what it gives us
Attempt for stand gives us 2 correct letters, 1 present letters and 2 wrong letters.
If we look into details, we can see that:
Letter s should be at position 1
Letter t is on a different spot - this means that it cannot be at position 2
Letter a should be at position 3
Letter n is not present in the word and we will not use it any more
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 n, d) but it’s also important piece of information
Word should contain letters [s t a]
That was a great guess that limited number of remaining words
Attempt 3
Right now we have 2 words to choose from and best of them seem to be [swath shaft]
So far we know that possible letters are:
At position 1: [s]
At position 2: [a b c f h i j k m o p q s v w x y z]
At position 3: [a]
At position 4: [a b c f h i j k m o p q s t v w x y z]
At position 5: [a b c f h i j k m o p q s t v w x y z]
Next guess is swath, let’s see what it gives us
Attempt for swath gives us 2 correct letters, 2 present letters and 1 wrong letters.
If we look into details, we can see that:
Letter w 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 4
Letter h is on a different spot - this means that it cannot be at position 5
Some letters are missing (like w) but it’s also important piece of information
Word should contain letters [s t a h]
This was a waste, almost no valuable information…
Attempt 4
Right now we have 1 words to choose from and best of them seem to be [shaft]
So far we know that possible letters are:
At position 1: [s]
At position 2: [a b c f h i j k m o p q s v x y z]
At position 3: [a]
At position 4: [a b c f h i j k m o p q s v x y z]
At position 5: [a b c f i j k m o p q s t v x y z]
It must be shaft
