> Note that all of these 243 possibilities aren't valid in practice. For example YYYYM will never be seen because if the first four letters are correctly placed and the fifth is also in the word, it will be correctly placed.

Not true. For example if the correct answer is TWEED and you guess TWEET, then you’ll get YYYYM.

Edit: As pointed out by two commenters, the actual implementation contradicts the following claim in the post:

> “Maybe” - the letter is in the answer but in a different position

If the correct answer is TWEED and you gess TWEET, you will still get YYYYN, because the actual implementation uses a different definition of “Maybe” than what is written in the post.

I believe in the actual implementation it's correct. You can confirm a letter is not doubled, when one of the two letters in your guess is gray.

No, this would give YYYYN

I only played it occasionally and haven’t encountered doubled letters, so I don’t know what the actual response would be. Maybe you’re right.

You can guess it in one try by carefully reading the code. There is no server that knows the correct answer. The client already knows, based on the date. That is why you can only play once per day.

Thanks, Captain Kirk. You get a commendation for knowing how to 'View Source'.

If Yellow/“Maybe” really means “the letter is in the answer but in a different position”, then the final T satisfies this definition.

Another commenter points out the actual implementation may deviate from this definition though.

Try TWEET in today's Wordle and you'll see what I mean

As already explained by carefully reading the opening of the post.
