I always lead with STOAE so people don't have issues guessing my first one at least. I also tend to follow with UNLID if STOAE has zero or one hits.
ARTSY MODEL CHUNK here. It's not optimal, but it is pleasing to me in an aesthetic sense.
This is a really cool approach, definitely did not think of trying this! If you'd prefer to play without the crowdsourced data, I spent a couple hours on the following dictionary search algo yesterday which can typically solve puzzles in 3-4 guesses: https://github.com/rgkimball/wordlebot

The simulated distributions it's comparing to are based on 1000 runs per 5-letter word. Anecdotally, 250 wa…
This is a cool project, but I wanted to tell you that your evaluate_guess function is wrong. evaluate_guess(answer="crest", guess="erase") "MYNYM" Many people misunderstand this but it's not how the rules actually work. Correct here would be MYNYN, because there is only one E in the correct answer. There must be a 1-1 correspondence between any 'M' letter in the guess and the letter in the answer. This is similar to…
EDIT: actually it looks like it’s correct - evaluate_guess_char() only returns “M” if there’s an instance of the guess letter that’s not accounted for.
I am trying so hard to not know what Wordle is or how to play. Now it is showing up on Hacker News? Damn. I’ve not had this much trouble since I avoided Sudoku.
