  Record so far of five. I suspect four is possible. I'm unconvinced three is possible.

    Four is possible in many ways: aiery canst dolma offal realo tings dampy humph raine scold bulgy ought ureas gilpy cyton conic lutea prosy canid cigar leary ungot camis humph stale groin dampy humph If you're wondering what some of those words mean, Wordle (and this variant) have a big list of fake words it allows for guesses. I think 4 is probably optimal, but my solver is still running. :) There's probably way more fours as well, my solver only prints new bests found, and this list is from progressively allowing a wider and wider search, so each result is from a separate run. I wonder how many end in 'humph'.

      Is it possible to guess in four using only real words?
    • zwegner 5y ago
      In case anyone is still reading this thread, I think four is now proven optimal.
