Wordle for May 17, 2025 - #1428
Attempt 1
This is the first attempt and we’ll choose a random word to start with.
Let’s start with word ronde
Attempt for ronde gives us 0 correct letters, 3 present letters and 2 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 o is on a different spot - this means that it cannot be at position 2
Letter n is on a different spot - this means that it cannot be at position 3
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 d, e) but it’s also important piece of information
Word should contain letters [r o n]
That was a great guess that limited number of remaining words
Attempt 2
Right now we have 36 words to choose from and best of them seem to be [thorn orant trona nitro tronc]
So far we know that possible letters are:
At position 1: [a b c f g h i j k l m n o p q s t u v w x y z]
At position 2: [a b c f g h i j k l m n p q r s t u v w x y z]
At position 3: [a b c f g h i j k l m o p q r s t u v w x y z]
At position 4: [a b c f g h i j k l m n o p q r s t u v w x y z]
At position 5: [a b c f g h i j k l m n o p q r s t u v w x y z]
Next guess is nitro, let’s see what it gives us
Attempt for nitro gives us 0 correct letters, 3 present letters and 2 wrong letters.
If we look into details, we can see that:
Letter n is on a different spot - this means that it cannot be at position 1
Letter i 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 r is on a different spot - this means that it cannot be at position 4
Letter o is on a different spot - this means that it cannot be at position 5
Some letters are missing (like i, t) but it’s also important piece of information

This was a waste, almost no valuable information…
