you should do an app and just give me random puzzles not only everyday, it's really fun

#142I don't get the game, is there something lacking in which you need to explain to us properly?

If it's like wordle, then everyone gets the same puzzle on a given day. Your description matches what I played today (and is a partial spoiler; one great thing about wordle is that people have been good about not spoiling it). Tomorrow's may be quite different.
Upon solving, I got a popup saying the next puzzle would be available exactly six hours from then. I suspected that meant that puzzles would be released to me on my schedule, and may or may not be unique.
After looking at today’s puzzle, I don’t think it’s any more intriguing than yesterday’s after all. I got it on the 3rd guess this time.

You note that the interface accepts a lot more words than are in the dictionary, much like the normal Wordle game. I wonder if you can exploit the full set of acceptable words to narrow down the possibility space even further? I would not be surprised if there's an equation in the full set that performs better than the equation you initially selected.
It’s definitely possible. An exhaustive search would require tapping into the cloud since there are well over 100,000 words that the interface could use, times 17,000 target words, times the grading operation which is moderately expensive. My guess, though, is that the best starter word is number-dense since numbers show up in the middle of the frequency range, and therefore probably wouldn’t change. However, subsequ…
Eh, it’s about 1.7 billion operations. I suspect you could churn through those pretty fast in a language like C or Rust.

3*4+-7=5 and 10=8/2+6 cover everything but 9.
9 * 6 - 3 = 51 and 28 / 4 + 0 = 7 will cover everything and allow you to determine the = position.
That is fantastic, kudos to you for finding a way to cover those extra two digits. I am going to use this opener.

That situation is exactly what my first paragraph was about. > As others have said, you can (and often should) make guesses that don't satisfy all the clues you've found so far. That way you can find / eliminate symbols much more quickly.
Just fyi, that paragraph is clear and unambiguous. Ironic that billforsternz chose to post his concerns in response to a comment which had addressed them.
In retrospect I agree with you actually, not my best and brightest moment.

spanish: https://wordle.danielfrg.com/ 4 words in a square: https://squareword.org
In Spanish you can win almost all gameplays with "aires" or "seria" as the starting word.
ahh, nice :-) I got the word today but didn't actually know it was a word or what it meant. However, I'm enjoying the challenge and the chance to practice thinking through 5-letter words in Spanish

#149EDIT: game's over. It's already been done: https://rwmpelstilzchen.gitlab.io/wordles/ Is anyone keeping track? So now we have: *wordlists*: - [wordle]( https://www.powerlanguage.co.uk/wordle/ ): wordlist picked by creators partner - [byrdle]( https://rbrignall.github.io/byrdle/ ): wordlist has to do with choral music - [lewdle]( https://www.lewdlegame.com ): lewd words - [sweardle]( https://sweardle.com/ ): 4 letter…
Also, really only relevant in NYC, but [Subwaydle](https://www.subwaydle.com/)

Sometimes it's what you need to do. If you know _IGHT, guessing the solution is not the best strategy since you get so little information each turn. You're much better off with FILMS or BLOWN, even if you know they can't be the solution.
Hard mode in Wordle precludes that option; after weeks in that mode in Wordle it would never occur to me to put an entirely bogus set of numbers into this.
I haven't played hard mode, but i imagine part of an optimal strategy is trying not to paint yourself into a corner like that.
Just the other day, i had SHA_E and knew there were more possible solutions than i had turns left. I guessed MILKY to try 3 possibilities at once.
