Wordle for May 12, 2025 - #1423
Attempt 1
This is the first attempt and we’ll choose a random word to start with.
Let’s start with word orate
Attempt for orate gives us 0 correct letters, 1 present letters and 4 wrong letters.
If we look into details, we can see that:
Letter o 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 a 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 on a different spot - this means that it cannot be at position 5
Some letters are missing (like o, r, a, t) but it’s also important piece of information
Word should contain letters [e]
That was a great guess that limited number of remaining words
Attempt 2
Right now we have 377 words to choose from and best of them seem to be [eldin lined unled blend neeld]

At position 1: [b c d e f g h i j k l m n p q s u v w x y z]

At position 4: [b c d e f g h i j k l m n p q s u v w x y z]
