Wordle will accept lots of words as guesses that are not possible solutions. Such as RAINS. Will take as guess. Will never be a solution. It was a situation like that.

I made the same guessing error as you the first time but:

thinking about it after, DEALT is a bad guess as if it’s wrong you have no idea if the answer is LEANT or LEAPT. I was lucky and guessed right.

Guessing either LEANT or LEAPT before DEALT is better because if it’s wrong, you will know for sure the right answer and won’t have to guess twice.

Question for this thread. I tend to do Wordle before visiting this thread, so am not usually affected. But I think we should put even the yellow/green pics in spoilers. At this point, I know most of the first words people use, so the above would be a spoiler as I can see how ams288’s typical first word was graded.

Good point. Personally, I don't check the thread until after I play and never after about noon, lest anyone in Asia or Australia post about my tomorrow. However, I'll put everything in spoiler tags going forward.

I don't think I have the app either, but does a statistics page appear when you finish a game?

If so, you can click on "Share," and your color code diagram for today will be copied to your clipboard. From there you can copy your color code diagram to your post and type in your guesses for each line.

Wordle #575 January 15, 2023: 3/6 birdie

STARE / GBBGG
PINCH / YYBBB
SPIRE / Correct

After STARE, I was left with S__RE. I figured the third letter was a vowel, probably O or I. If O, the second letter could be W, P, H, C, or N; if I, the second letter could be P or H.

With all these possibilities, I forwent the chance at a deuce and played the probing word PINCH, which showed the missing letters to be P and I.

I see that ChesterDog, in precisely the same situation after STARE, used the probing word CHIMP.
