Wordle 291 4/6






8 minutes, ugh. I sure eliminated a bunch of letters.

Spoiler:

I even started to try 'moron', but then realized I'd already eliminated 'n' as I got to it. Irony.

Are you a Wordle cheater? Chances are, your friends think so.

Hmmm?

You may be an ace at Wordle, the daily New York Times NYT, -0.33% word-puzzle game that’s become a fixation for many Americans since its October launch. But there’s a good chance your friends think you’re cheating your way to success.

A new survey from the game website Solitaried found that 29% of those polled believe people who regularly solve Wordle in short order — meaning in three guesses or fewer — are probably employing less-than-honest means to achieve their impressive results.

Still, not that many Wordle players say they actually cheat. The same survey found that only 14% admit to doing so.

Wordle players have up to six tries to guess a five-letter word of the day, with the game offering feedback after every try. If a player identifies one of the correct letters, Wordle will highlight it in a shade of yellow. If the letter is also in the right position in the word, the highlighting is in green.

...

Time to fess up?

This is why you're not invited - we know that you are a liar and a coward with a delicate ego. Cheating would be certain.

Why are you here in this thread . . . and on BRD?

Awww. , Useless. So much for "Ignored". You fail again. Plus, Useless, you've been busted too many times for anyone to believe you're not reading my posts, anyhow. It's just your excuse for cowering. Awww.

How sad. The OCD is strong with that one.

He really can't stay away.

Wonder what Freud would say?

Hey, I'm not the cheater!

‘If you consistently get Wordle in 3 or less, you are cheating’

...Indeed, players do use Google GOOGL, -0.48% GOOG, -0.52% to find the correct word — or find clues online that will lead them to the right answer, according to Maria Szatkowski, a researcher with Solitaired. She also says it’s not unusual for someone to ask a spouse, partner or friend who’s already solved the day’s puzzle for the correct word.

Szatkowski says that she, too, is “skeptical” about those who say they never cheat at the game. The Solitaired survey noted that Wordle cheaters make it something of a habit, with 91% saying they do so one or two times per week.

Wordle started life as a daily puzzle developed by software engineer Josh Wardle — the game’s name is something of a play on his — that was introduced last year and was made widely available. The New York Times announced earlier in 2022 that it had acquired it for an amount “in the low seven figures.”

There’s no indication that Wordle fever has since waned. In New York City, one restaurant, HOWM Cocina & Cocktails, has even introduced a weekend Wordle brunch in which players compete for prizes.

Incompetent Useless whining is our rabbit's foot. I've got 10 starters that I cycle through. They don't work out any better for me than this one did. I still could have guessed wrong times at least 2 for the 5th letter, but didn't.

Yeah, I've got probably five regulars I start with and a few more I use occasionally. There's not much rhyme or reason for what I use except I do use the Wheel of Fortune RSTLNE thing but I'll throw in an extra vowel.

There were five possibilities with my start, took me three.

It was a stark failure.

Don't know what made me try to out guess a randomizing computer algorithm by changing what usually works pretty well and worked very well the day before.

... Don't know what made me try to out guess a randomizing computer algorithm by changing what usually works pretty well and worked very well the day before.

Not entirely random.

Early development

... Initially, the game used all 13,000 possible five letter words in the English language, but he found that his partner Palak Shah had difficulty recognizing some of the less common words and made the guessing as haphazard as it was in Mastermind. He then used Shah as a simple filter to trim down the word list to around 2,000 words that were more recognizable - roughly five years of puzzles on a daily basis....

I'm sure it's a good thing, but it makes their filter subjective. It also means that the better wordies lose an advantage.
