Wordle for August 21, 2025 - #1524
Attempt 1
This is the first attempt and we’ll choose a random word to start with.
Let’s start with word refan
Attempt for refan gives us 0 correct letters, 1 present letters and 4 wrong letters.
If we look into details, we can see that:
Letter r 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 2
Letter f 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 n is not present in the word and we will not use it any more
Some letters are missing (like r, f, a, n) 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 501 words to choose from and best of them seem to be [tilde tiled thole ethyl ethid]
So far we know that possible letters are:
At position 1: [b c d e g h i j k l m o p q s t u v w x y z]
At position 2: [b c d g h i j k l m o p q s t u v w x y z]
At position 3: [b c d e g h i j k l m o p q s t u v w x y z]
At position 4: [b c d e g h i j k l m o p q s t u v w x y z]
At position 5: [b c d e g h i j k l m o p q s t u v w x y z]
Next guess is ethyl, let’s see what it gives us
Attempt for ethyl gives us 2 correct letters, 1 present letters and 2 wrong letters.
If we look into details, we can see that:
Letter e should be at position 1
Letter t is on a different spot - this means that it cannot be at position 2
Letter h is not present in the word and we will not use it any more
