ARTSY MODEL CHUNK here. It's not optimal, but it is pleasing to me in an aesthetic sense.
I vary up my starting words to keep things interesting. Common ones for me are: MEATY, BISON, CHUMP, GROUP From yesterday's post on the state of the art, I tried SALET, but still took me 4 tries to get today's wordle.

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.

My favourite part of this is accounting for some fake grids. Kudos! I have been so curious lately as to whether this was possible. EDIT: The next question is which (if any) of these signals can be removed and still get it in 1 guess. Or if there are any other signals. Or how many tweets are needed (is 50 enough? 10? or 1000? 10k?)
This uses ~2-3k tweets per day for most days, which seems to be more than enough. According to https://twitter.com/WordleStats/status/1486021209015963649 there's about 250k daily tweets per Wordle right now, so this is about a 1% sample coming from whatever the Twitter search API returned when I ran that query. The simulated distributions it's comparing to are based on 1000 runs per 5-letter word. Anecdotally, 250 wa…

This is not quite the same as the lottery-player's fear that they change their lucky numbers and then those numbers come up the next week... the lottery has no memory, so it really doesn't change your odds when you change your numbers. But Wordle's drawing words from a finite pool.
Of course, if your go-to starting word is NOT in the set (looking at YOU overly optimized people who play crazy words like STOAE that are almost certainly not in the answer set...) then by sticking with that you're guaranteeing you'll never do better than 2/6...
This is your regular reminder that today's word, and all the upcoming ones, are located in the Wordle minified JS.
In the age of intrusive anti-cheat software and byzantine security measures, the fact that Wordle doesn't attempt to prevent cheating is something I find weirdly charming.
What are the "⬛ squares taking social media by storm"?
That was my question and it's still not answered well here. I guess people post the colors that led up to their solution but no the actual letters. Might be good to add it to the original post for clarification. I play Wordle but didn't quite get what they were using for source data.
