> Sadly there's a rule not letting you use a known letter more than once in a word (once A is known, you can't write ALPHA), That rule doesn't make sense. What if the answer is AORTA, and you want to guess ALBUM and then ALPHA?
The sibling comment pointed it out; MAMMA is revealed with one yellow A and one grey A, meaning it has told you there's only one A. If the answer was AORTA, then both As in MAMMA would be yellow.
> If the answer was AORTA, then both As in MAMMA would be yellow
Why would the last A be yellow and not green? It's the correct letter in the correct location. MAMMA should be gray, yellow, gray, gray, green.

#87I tried playing this as if its wordle & got it in 2 guesses. How do they do this ??? That's next to impossible in wordle & the probalities seem like they should be the same?
By playing Wordle well, you are essentially eliminating as much unknown words as possible each turn, e.g., SALET alone takes 12974 words down to 34 here today. But this is like Wordle hard mode with the forced letters, so the optimal strategy is probably to invert and eliminate as little words as possible each turn. I got pretty far here using weird words, but PIZZA turned out to be a terrible first guess for Don't W…
Wordle hard mode (which I play) generally limits you to a similar degree as this game - it's less strict programmatically, but anyone willingly opting into hard mode is likely following the same rules as are enforced here.
So it should be the same.
(assuming here that you're deliberately attempting to lose this game).

I'm not entirely sure they'd need to comply. The question is what the purpose of the data being collected was, but seems to me that if you emphasise the whole idea that this is a conversation (which HN does in several ways) then actually "We don't delete comments" is defensible. If I'm reading a thread about a problem I'm having in a video game on Reddit and it goes "This is very frustrating because I can't get a rab…
Right to be forgotten is part of GDPR even though most people only think of cookie banners. There's no one-click export, either.
That's cute. Your records are yours. Barring some agreement to the contrary, I have no right to mess with them or inspect them, even if they contain information about me.

Do you even adblock, bro.
Re: Don't Wordle
#90I sense this is not winnable for all Wordle dictionary words. Is that provably the case?
