I motion that we not bother putting our solutions in spoiler tags. Let's get in the habit of not checking this thread until after playing each day.

Does anyone second the motion?

I used a probing word on my fourth try. There were too many possibilities.

Time zones could be a problem.

I already accidentally spoiled myself once by reading spoiler tag at 9:15pm.

Guessing game for me too today, which usually do not go my way, including today.

Ok... really dumb question, but what exactly do I search for in the IPhone App store? There are a ton of knock offs now. I searched for "Wordle!" and an app comes up, but the blocks that people are posting... that color scheme isn't used in that app. I'm confused.

Note that not checking the thread until after you play won't necessarily help. You could check it immediately after you play and accidentally already see solutions for the next game.

For example, let's say someone in a different time zone, on the other side of the pond, plays Wordle #301. They play it and then come here and post their solution. So far so good... however, on the the west coast it might only be 3:00 pm. (In Alaska and Hawaii even earlier.) The west coast players still have 9 hours left to play the prior game, Wordle #300!

Maybe they play #300 within the next few hours (maybe in the evening after dinner), and then come here and post their result and check the thread. If so, it's just too easy for them to accidentally see a solution for Wordle #301 which was posted several hours earlier.

Of course, I don't know how often that might happen or what percentage of the members are on the other side of the planet, etc.

For that reason, I still like the idea of the spoiler tags. Of course, it won't matter to me because I play each day's game as early as possible, even if I have to set my clock ahead, temporarily. I do this specifically just so I won't accidentally see a solution or even get an accidental hint in this and other forums/websites!

...It would seem that, right now at this moment, everyone around the globe has the opportunity to play only Wordle #301, regardless of time zone.

I did the same thing awhile back.. but I looked at the frequency of each letter specific to each position.

Here's my updated Wordle Letter Frequency chart, using the 2,308 list of valid Wordle answers. (It was 2,309 words... but I read the NY Times recently removed yet another word, HARRY.)




Using this chart, here are the top 25 Wordle words with the most "Frequency Points.":




As shown above, SLATE comes in at #1 with 1,432 points: (365 + 200 + 306 + 139 + 422 = 1,432.)

The very last word in the list, #2,308, is NYMPH, with just 307 Frequency Points. (37 + 22 + 61 + 50 + 137 = 307)

...I think I'm going to switch to STARE as my starting word.

For fun... a very simple Wordle Puzzle:

Your first play is PIGHT, a valid play. (Pight means to pitch or set up a tent.)

The last four letters are all displayed in green. You then realize the answer could be any of the following nine words: EIGHT, FIGHT, LIGHT, MIGHT, NIGHT, RIGHT, SIGHT, TIGHT, or WIGHT.

What do you play on Row #2 and Row #3, to guarantee you solve the puzzle on Row #4?
