From this I concluded the best starting word is FEAST. Each column has a high likelihood of being correct. And damn if I didn’t get today’s Wordle on the second guess with this strategy. Anecdotal data FTW!
- ghaff 4y agoWordlebot likes SLATE and LEAST a bit better. But, yeah, mix of common consonants and vowels. I also think I've found that mixing things up because your usual word did really well the day before doesn't really seem to be a good strategy because if the solution is a lot different, just eliminating some of the most common letters is still pretty effective.
- madcaptenor 4y agoIs there some tendency for a starting word that does well one day to do poorly the next day? I know Original Wordle was randomized so there wouldn't be, but now that there's editing there might be.
- ghaff 4y agoI don't know. I'll sometimes mix things up a bit if, say, I get 4 letters out of SLATE on a day. (I sometimes will use CRANE which is still very high on the starting words list.) At the same time though, even if SLATE were to come up empty the next day, that's a lot of negative information.
