Of course, my previous post assumes you can play invalid words. Having never played before today, I don't know if that is possible. (Most likely it is not.) The general idea though, is still correct, and it does work for MasterMind, since there's no rule about submitting a guess that is not possible.

From my experience, Wordle will not provide feedback on invalid words.

3/7/22 4 try’s today but it took me 10-15 minutes. This was my hardest yet.

After my initial guess for today's puzzle (3/7/2022), there were only two words left... and yet I picked the wrong one.

I know. I couldn't think of any valid guesses, so went with something that was close to being valid.

I think I was in the same boat, unless there are qualifying words I don't know about.
Five turns today.
My average turns over 7 games is 32/7 = 4.57.

Incorrect. I tried the correct first 4 letters with a Y as the last letter. That was a third possibility after you got letters 2,3, and 4 correct.

What was the third possibility?
According to a website that listed the entire word list that the site uses, only...
...board and hoard were valid after my first guess, with that feedback I was given.

Hoary is definitely a word. No idea if Wordle uses is.
