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.

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 Wordle (eliminating ~75% of the words):
* 12974
PIZZA 3169
AQUAS 290
SAWED 17
MEASE 7
LEASH 0
- lucideer 1mo agoWordle 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).
- tedmiston 1mo agoNo, the strategy in Wordle of solving hard mode by guessing the target word vs in Not Wordle preserving along as possible in Not Wordle by not guessing the target word are not the same thing at all. Huh?!
