Wordle #837 October 4: 2/6 eagle

🟩⬜⬜🟩🟩 START / GBBGG

Well START was a fortuitous typo!

With G = 1, Y = ½, & B = 0, I scored 3 and 5.

I spent one minute solving this.

My streak is at 74.

Just did the math.

  • I've played 579 times.
  • If I count my the five times I whiffed (got X/6) as a "7" then my average is 3.905.
  • If I just focus on the times I got it, then my average is 3.845, with a correct response frequency of 99.14%. For reference, Wordlebot scores 3.767 with a correct response frequency of 99.2%. The MIT algorithm (starting with SALET) averages 3.421 guesses. Sigh.
  • I've never scored 1/6 and I have scored 2/6 (only) 10 times.
  • My current streak is 216

Care to share your stats?

"Things that whistle": bird?

Stats for teliot:

I've played 558 times.

If I count the 9 times I whiffed (got X/6) as a "7" then my average is 3.932 (2194 guesses/558 games)

On successful games my average is 3.882 (2131 guesses/549 successful games), with a correct response frequency of 98.39% (549 successes/558 games).

The above stats include one 1/6: I inadvertently saw the answer here :-(

Taking that out, the averages are 3.937 overall (2193/557) and 3.887 on successful games (2130/548), with a success rate of 98.38% (548/557).

Scoring distribution:
1 hole-in-one (saw the answer here... But someday STARE will happen!)
28 eagles
158 birdies
234 pars
104 bogeys
24 double bogeys
9 whiffs

My current streak is 79. My longest streak is 130.

I don't have long-term records. Every time I clean browser they get reset. I have a feeling I wouldn't be very proud of my track record. My average is probably between 4.3 and 4.5.

Scoring distribution:
1 hole-in-one (saw the answer here... But someday STARE will happen!)
28 eagles
158 birdies
234 pars
104 bogeys
24 double bogeys
9 whiffs

Very interesting! Your 'eagle' rate is impressive, I'm nowhere near that. But I think it also shows that I have a conservative strategy, because I have fewer bogeys & double bogeys.
