Wordle for August 21, 2024 - #1159
Attempt 1
This is the first attempt and we’ll choose a random word to start with.
Let’s start with word trode
Attempt for trode gives us 0 correct letters, 0 present letters and 5 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 r is not present in the word and we will not use it any more
Letter o 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
Letter e is not present in the word and we will not use it any more
Some letters are missing (like t, r, o, d, e) 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 1097 words to choose from and best of them seem to be [uhlan linch lynch slain inula]
So far we know that possible letters are:
At position 1: [a b c f g h i j k l m n p q s u v w x y z]
At position 2: [a b c f g h i j k l m n p q s u v w x y z]
At position 3: [a b c f g h i j k l m n p q s u v w x y z]
At position 4: [a b c f g h i j k l m n p q s u v w x y z]
At position 5: [a b c f g h i j k l m n p q s u v w x y z]
Next guess is slain, let’s see what it gives us
Attempt for slain gives us 0 correct letters, 1 present letters and 4 wrong letters.
If we look into details, we can see that:
Letter s 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 a is not present in the word and we will not use it any more
Letter i is not present in the word and we will not use it any more
Letter n is not present in the word and we will not use it any more
Some letters are missing (like s, a, i, n) but it’s also important piece of information
Word should contain letters [l]
That was a great guess that limited number of remaining words
Attempt 3
Right now we have 18 words to choose from and best of them seem to be [mulch gulch hulky lymph whulk]
So far we know that possible letters are:
At position 1: [b c f g h j k l m p q u v w x y z]
At position 2: [b c f g h j k m p q u v w x y z]
At position 3: [b c f g h j k l m p q u v w x y z]
At position 4: [b c f g h j k l m p q u v w x y z]
At position 5: [b c f g h j k l m p q u v w x y z]
Next guess is mulch, let’s see what it gives us
That’s the correct answer! The word is mulch!
To be honest that was a pretty lucky guess, but it worked out well.
Conclusion
Today’s word is mulch and it took 3 attempts to guess it
