Step 1: Guess anything Step 2: Flip all the non green cells.
afaik, guessing anything not 00000 or 11111 at first step will lead to an optimum strategy of 3 steps. because you introduce possible "right digit at wrong place" as a third state. guessing 00000 or 11111 removes that third state and leaves you with simple substitution of wrong cells, which leads to an optimal 2 step strategy. but obviously the shortest strategy is just guessing it right on the first try :D lol
It's still two steps. You only ever need to flip wrong digits.

It doesn't matter.
Right digit at the wrong place = wrong digit = you should flip it.
This puzzle won't take more than 2 guesses no matter what you input the first time.

Re: Binary Wordle
#97So....
1st line, all zeros. It shows me where the zeros are.
Well.. that's it. Any non-zero is a 1.
So.. finished on the second line.
Am I the only one?

No, sadly.
