Wordle for July 17, 2025 - #1489
Attempt 1
This is the first attempt and we’ll choose a random word to start with.
Let’s start with word enorm
Attempt for enorm gives us 0 correct letters, 2 present letters and 3 wrong letters.
If we look into details, we can see that:
Letter e 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
Letter o is on a different spot - this means that it cannot be at position 3
Letter r is not present in the word and we will not use it any more
Letter m is on a different spot - this means that it cannot be at position 5
Some letters are missing (like e, n, r) but it’s also important piece of information
Word should contain letters [o m]
That was a great guess that limited number of remaining words
Attempt 2
Right now we have 65 words to choose from and best of them seem to be [domal modal omlah mould mouth]
So far we know that possible letters are:
At position 1: [a b c d f g h i j k l m o p q s t u v w x y z]
At position 2: [a b c d f g h i j k l m o p q s t u v w x y z]

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

Next guess is mould, let’s see what it gives us
Attempt for mould gives us 2 correct letters, 2 present letters and 1 wrong letters.
If we look into details, we can see that:
Letter m should be at position 1
Letter o should be at position 2
Letter u is not present in the word and we will not use it any more
