How do so many players get Wordl on the second guess?

I've been playing Wordl since before it was a NY Times game and I've guessed the world correctly on the second try only 5 times. Looking at the bot's analysis, consistently there's tens of thousands of people who guess it on the second word. What is their starting guess? Is there a way to find out?

As we'll come to find out when they destroy the world, the bot is not your friend.

It's just luck I guess. However I had good luck today (2/6) and got it on second try.

by Anonymousreply 1February 6, 2023 2:10 PM

What was your starting guess, R1?

I got today's (2/6) answer on the third guess and started with the same word as usual, aisle.

Anybody else annoyed with today's word?

by Anonymousreply 3February 6, 2023 2:40 PM

I start with STEAM so when the word was TASTY at some point in the last couple of months, I managed to get it on the 2nd try. However, I've only gotten it on the 2nd try 16 times out of 381 plays.

by Anonymousreply 4February 6, 2023 2:44 PM

Only 11 times out of 236 games for me. Once on the first try. Just dumb luck in all instances.

There are Wordle Word of the Day Hints on line, OP. People cheat (If you want to call it cheating). You can google and get three hints. For instance a clue about the word's meaning, the letter it starts with, which vowels are used, etc. You can also just scroll down to the bottom of the hints page and get the word. Some people are so crazily competitive with figuring out the word in the least amount of tries and posting about it. Isn't the point of the puzzle the process of figuring the word out in 6 tries? It's not about being an alphabet psychic.

by Anonymousreply 8February 6, 2023 3:34 PM

You can cheat by going into a new browser and playing the game to get the answer, then go back to your usual browser now that you already know the word.

by Anonymousreply 9February 6, 2023 3:36 PM

OP, since you can't spell the name of the game, I'm surprised you can play it.

I've guessed it on the second try 16 out of 327 times, and that's usually due to luck. I have several different starting words I use and I switch them up from day to day. I try to start with a word that has at least three vowels and a couple of the more common consonants. But it's still mostly luck that I chose a good word first. Some of my start words are: AUDIO, SUITE, MEDIA, RADIO, CAUSE, NOISE and ROUSE.

My start word is MEATY. I like the word.

I got it on the second guess today! The bot still said my skill level was only 72 despite that I got the answer in two guesses and it took the bot 4. Wow, my score is now 7 times on the second guess.

Interesting, R10. For some reason, I always thought the name was "wordl". How strange. Is this one of those Mandela effect things? Or are you just a bitch?

The other day I started with TABLE and came up with no 'hits.' For some reason, the only word that occurred to me was SHIRK. And it turned out to be the word.

I also accidently cheated and got it in one guess once.

My one guess solution is a fraud.

What are "two control words"?

by Anonymousreply 53March 29, 2023 8:39 PM

It happens. I got it in two for one of the words last week. I got three correct letters in my first guess, two of which were in the correct position, with the third letter only having one logical place to go. The solution became pretty clear.

Similarly, I remember failing to the correct even after getting four letters in the correct position right off the bat. The problem was I didn't have the first letter, and there were numerous words it could be. I just didn't guess the right one and ran through five incorrect guesses. I think the trick there would have been to find a new word to put in that contained as many of the possible letters it could be and see if you could find the right one or eliminate some.

According to my stats I've gotten Wordle on the second guess 10 times (out of 156 games played). But early on my stats were screwed up when I went back and forth between phone and computer to solve so I think I have perhaps another 4 or so. I got it on the first try one time, when I was using "Alien" as my starter word. My average solve is fewer than 4, which means I get a lot of solves in 3, but today's puzzle took me 5, because like r95, I tried multiple letters in position two before settling on the correct one. Last week was a banner week for me and I got it in 2 guesses three times. But that is far from the norm. Karma was probably taking notes, so I'll be getting a lot of 5 guess solves to make up, I imagine.

For the first time in quite a while, I got today's (5/31) on the second guess! The bot burst my magnificent bubble when it told me that after my (always the same) first word, only one was left .

I'm still wondering how so many people get it on the second guess. The answer is rarely like today's with the solution so close to a popular first word.

P.S. On the Wordle page, top left, are 3 short horizontal bars. Tap and open.

Now you have several other games to play, one free per day like with Wordle. My two favorites are Spelling Bee and Letter Boxed.

A. Spelling Bee: Each word you "find"---

1. Must be 4 letters or more.

2. Must use the letter in the middle.

3. Can repeat any letters shown.

4. Will eventually be your last "free" attempt. ๐Ÿ˜”

B. Letter Boxed: A game of thinking ahead!

1. The last letter of each of your allotted words is the first letter of your next one. (So finding, say, "Xerox" might not help!)

2. No letter is able to link to another in its same row. However small the angle or short, all links must cross the open center space somehow.

Do any of you use the bot's strategy to put in a totally different word in your second guess that contains no letter that was already indicated to be in the solution from your first guess?

Example: The bot always starts with SLATE, and often gets one or more letters out of that guess. But then, often puts CRONY in for the second guess. It would appear these two words eliminate so much that the bot can get it in three.

I actually did that for Tuesday's and got it in three.

I've found that the vowel "u" becomes apparent when you've tried a/e/i/o, but m and n are more common than g and r; also, if you've used s, t, m and n and the mystery word is not apparent, r pops as the obvious missing consonant.

In the analysis of my game, it told me that my second word was a "solid guess," then went on to say that I'd narrowed it down to just six remaining words.

But that wasn't true. My third word was not only valid, but quite common, and yet it wasn't on the 'bot's list of six words.

I solved the game with my fourth word, which was on the 'bot's list.

11/07: Third word.

First guess = One letter, in wrong spot.

#2 = Started a guess with that letter, which, with 2 others, was correct.

#3 = Really was no other possible word but the correct one!

Watch out for Wednesday's game.

Failure rate is around 8%

I got it five, but only because my second guess narrowed it down to seven words (per the 'bot) But the solution isn't something I'd think of right off without going through the remaining letters I had one by one.

Thursday's is another one game where so far 8% are failing to get it.

But it's for a different reason. Based on a few letters that most people will probably get right off, there are then many, many choices, so I think a lot players go through them and run out of guesses.

It took me SIX tries.

R236 If you have the NYT 'bot analyze your game play, it takes you through each step of play and compares your game with other players. Thereby, you can see what percent of players solved the game at each step of play. So when you get to the sixth and final step,it shows you how many players have solved the puzzle by then. It's generally somewhere in the neighborhood of 99%. but with harder words like NINJA, it was down to 92% indicating 8% of players failed. The bot also gives the average number of steps it took players to solve the thing for each game.

ElderLez- when you get to the end of the game and it applauds you , there's a chart that keeps track of all your wins and losses. That page is called statistics. Underneath the chart is the sentence :

"Wordlebot gives an analysis of your guesses. Did you beat the bot? โ€บ"

If you click on that it becomes a link. That will take you to the wordlebot. The wordlebot will go through your solutions word by word and tell you whether you were skillful, lucky or neither. If you keep scrolling past all of that, there will be charts of solutions, 1-6 and you can see what percentage of people have solved in 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6 guesses and you can also see what were some of the guesses they made on the way to solving. Today nearly 20% of people failed to solve - that's a huge percentage of failure for wordle solutions. I feel very lucky to have gotten it in 4.

I think there are at least two versions of the Wordle app. I have the iPhone NYT games app which is included with my Times subscription and it does not have a link to the bot. I looked in the Apple app store and see there is a paid version specifically for Wordle, which I'm guessing is what you're using menluvinguy which makes sense that they'd include the bot link but not in the free NYT games version I'm using (when I play on my phone). Maybe there's another version for Android? And ElderLez, are you a Times subscriber, or paying for either the games app or the Wordle app? I think if you're paying for a subscription they should include the bot analysis link.

Meanwhile, got today's in 3 (which kind of surprised me as my solve was what I'd call an educated-SWAG).

The issue with today's word is that even if you have the last four letters, you might lose, as there are so many rhymes where only the first letter is different. You might want to figure those out and put in a totally different elimination word using as many of those as possible.

Yes, today's word is not one that I'd consider fair use in Wordle because i) R268 is correct; 2) they've generally avoided words that repeat consonants so using a word that repeats vowels seems designed to trip up those of us who play by observation/deduction. That said, if you hit on the two vowels in sequence the answer wasn't hard... but it took me four guesses.

And I don't believe for one second that 0.3% of users got this one on the first try. Why do people cheat like this?

by Anonymousreply 279November 22, 2023 6:08 AM

Today's was hard due to the word including an uncommon letter which always trips me up and shows my over-reliance on the structure of the game over word composition (or as the bot proclaims, paraphrasing: my training suggests that words with this letter are unlikely). That said, there's no way that 0.2% of players start with today's word if we're to believe the bot's analysis. If you started with any word that contains this letter, you'd be starting with a word that ranks tied for second-to-last in letter frequency among all five-letter words โ€” IOW, a fools errand.

I got it in 5 guesses today (my average is 3.2).

I'm, of course, dancing around just writing out the word but it brings up a question: do we want to put the daily word out there knowing this thread contains spoilers? It's not like there aren't dozens of sites that give hints if not just outright reveal the answer. We've avoided it, but it makes discussing the game a bit more complex.

R319, I love Spelling Bee and Letter Boxed, but don't like that new games are up only after 3:00 a.m. EST.! At least Wordle is 12:01 a.m.!

Also, my not being a subscriber, Spelling Bee cuts out early for me.

With Letter Boxed, you can't double letters as you can with Spelling Bee. Also, the creators of LB are clever in placing common combinations in the same row/column, making them unusable.

The NYT morning newsletter essay today is on Wordling smarter.

(Iโ€™ve been on a string of fours this week)

by Anonymousreply 328December 17, 2023 11:47 AM

Without reading that essay, I'd say:

---Be aware that any correct letter might be used more than once.

---Know your possible letter combinations: sh, sn, ch, tch, bl, br, cr, sm, etc., etc. And when one is impossible.

---Nouns aren't pluralized (e.g., " birds," "noses," etc.); and verbs aren't 2nd-Person Singular (e.g., "walks," "reads," etc.).

---If you guess a consonant on first try that isn't in the correct place, next try it as the initial letter (if still feasible).

---If you know "really helpful initial words to use all the time," so does the NYT.

I got all but the fourth letter on the second try. Someone once told me the best strategy in this case is to waste a try on a random word that uses as many of the possible letters as you can. That way you can eliminate a lot of the possiblities in one try rather than wasting all of your tries one letter at a time.

Of course, I didn't follow this advice today.

Yesterday's was not that difficult but it took me 5 tries. Today's was one of those times that I got three letters with my initial word (aisle) and I got the answer correctly on the second word, but this is where human intuition paid off, knowing that the human who selects the word of the day would probably pick a word with at least two of the same letter to trip up Sunday players. It was again amusing that the bot said it was all luck and no skill. I understand why and how the bot scores this, but humans are playing the game and intuition and experience are factors.

My initial word had 1๏ธโƒฃ letter, but in an INCORRECT PLACEMENT.

Out of the proverbial blue ๐ŸŒฉ I thought of the CORRECT WORD as WORD #๏ธโƒฃ2๏ธโƒฃโ—

I got yesterday's in two (lucky with my starter word). Today's was easier, but it took me 3.

Monday's word was stupid, but I got it in three.

I neglected to say I posted on March 15 to note Wordle's having reached its one thousand word anniversary at The NYT.

Happy Anniversary, Wordlers!

Had four of the five letters on my second try this morning and still didnโ€™t get it until five.

Had to laugh at the bot's comments on my second guess for Saturday's game (3/23).

'Bot told me it didn't like the word I put in, even though, I reduced the number of words it could be from 41 down to just three.

I think that was pretty damn good .. lol.

I will say, be careful in this game. The solution is one of four words that contain the exact same letters (so it's a case of anagrams).

Today was tough. First time I went to 6 guesses in months.

by Anonymousreply 465March 25, 2024 10:36 AM

I got it in four, but it's not a word in my vocabulary. I can understand why there's nearly a 12% failure rate so far.

Got it in five but I had to google to see if it was not just a proper name. Never heard it used other than that.

Yeah, today's word was bullshit.

I got it in 4 only because it keeps rejecting every other guess I entered. I didn't really expect it to be a valid word.

by Anonymousreply 469March 25, 2024 12:07 PM

I had letters 1,2 & 5 on the second guess and still didn't get it. I never think to use an elimination word to take away a few possibilities.
