DG.Roma Posted February 6, 2022 Share Posted February 6, 2022 Ever get the feeling right early on that this is gonna be a bit of a bitch! Wordle 232 5/6 Spoiler Also had the feeling that there was gonna be a double/twice used letter, which leads to hesitancy for fear of a wasted guess. 9 hours ago, btb said: Some Yank has written a program which claims that roate is the best word to start with... PhD student writes program that finds the best first word to guess in Wordle | The Independent I disagree with Mr PHD. The creator made the game for his wife and the answer is always a fairly commonly used word that she would know. Now I don't know the intelligence levels of Mrs Wardle, but I've no idea what "roate" means, and if she doesn't either, you're ruling out the possibility of a hole in one. Pleased to see two of my usual first word choices in his top 5 though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, he has lots of letters after his name, whereas I didnt even go to higher education, so maybe I should stfu.

BFTD Posted February 6, 2022 Share Posted February 6, 2022 Someone on some website worked out that SOARE is the best opening word, as it features the most commonly-used letters in the English language, in the positions they're most commonly used in five-letter words (without slipping into a non-existent word, obviously). I haven't found it to make much of a difference. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pure luck. Kind of disappointing in a way. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, but I do like to start with the same word, mainly because I'll be kicking myself if one I've used before is the word of the day. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On a full reading I'm not so sure I agree with the Yank as he gives a suggestion for a best second word but that would only be applicable if no letters from roate (I looked it up it's a technical term used in accountancy relating to company tax) are in the wordle. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the days when I wasted money on the lottery I was reluctant to change the numbers for that very reason. Haven’t bought a ticket for about 20 years but never check the draw just in case these numbers have actually come up. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bairnardo Posted February 6, 2022 Share Posted February 6, 2022 Im sure there are tactics that work, and im sure theres very clever people who know how to find/define them. Those people have to be prepared to correctly called out as fun-sponge wankers though. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
