    I've a working theory that if you play where your next guess always uses the letters you know are in the Wordle and never has letters you know are not, then you should be able to guess the word in 5 guesses or less. If not, the word probably isn't in your vocabulary, or it's a very obscure word. Edit: after playing today's Wordle, I amend my theory: or the Wordle is one in which there are more than 4 possible words with four letters all the same. Example: match, batch, catch, watch, patch, hatch, latch.

    If you think 'goto' is evil, try writing an Assembly program without JMP.

        I assume with 2315 words all letters are included (speculation). But maybe frequency could help. Anyway, why not only treat(5) it as a game to train(5) the brain(5)? :laugh:

              I was tripped by the possibilities of wound, round, sound, bound, found, hound, mound, pound. :(

                I feel they should modify the rules such that if more than 6 different words have the same 4 common letters at the same locations, they should make you win if you guess any one of those different words.

                  Well, yesterday’s puzzle almost was like Absurdle, where the game refuses to accept your answer by switching words,
