Wordle for January 6, 2025 - #1297
Attempt 1
This is the first attempt and we’ll choose a random word to start with.
Let’s start with word noted

Attempt for noted gives us 0 correct letters, 0 present letters and 5 wrong letters.
If we look into details, we can see that:
Letter n 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 t 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 d is not present in the word and we will not use it any more
Some letters are missing (like n, o, t, e, d) 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 1117 words to choose from and best of them seem to be [larch ralph hurly churl lurch]
So far we know that possible letters are:
At position 1: [a b c f g h i j k l m p q r s u v w x y z]
At position 2: [a b c f g h i j k l m p q r s u v w x y z]
At position 3: [a b c f g h i j k l m p q r s u v w x y z]
At position 4: [a b c f g h i j k l m p q r s u v w x y z]
At position 5: [a b c f g h i j k l m p q r s u v w x y z]
Next guess is ralph, let’s see what it gives us

Attempt for ralph gives us 0 correct letters, 2 present letters and 3 wrong letters.
If we look into details, we can see that:
Letter r is on a different spot - this means that it cannot be at position 1
Letter a 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 p is on a different spot - this means that it cannot be at position 4
Letter h is not present in the word and we will not use it any more
Some letters are missing (like a, l, h) but it’s also important piece of information
Word should contain letters [r p]
That was a great guess that limited number of remaining words
Attempt 3
Right now we have 21 words to choose from and best of them seem to be [prius sirup spiry crisp scrip]
So far we know that possible letters are:
At position 1: [b c f g i j k m p q s u v w x y z]

At position 4: [b c f g i j k m q r s u v w x y z]
At position 5: [b c f g i j k m p q r s u v w x y z]
Next guess is sirup, let’s see what it gives us

Letter r should be at position 3
Letter u 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
