No that is just the chance of doing it on any specific day. So if you did it on Monday, it would be the same odds to do it again on Tuesday and the same odds to do it again on Wednesday. But to do it 3 days running would be much bigger odds.
But I don't think Wordle takes into account how well you did yesterday, or the day before; so it is debatable. Come on, someone debate <laugh>

You’re right it doesn’t but neither does tossing a coin. Isn’t this about the odds of running up a sequence. For example if 100 people tossed a coin, you would expect 50 of them to get heads. If those 50 people tossed them again you’d expect 25 of them to get heads. So the chance of anyone of them getting two heads in a sequence is statistically 50% x 50% ie 25% and so on. 3 heads in sequence would be 50% x 50% x 50%

Have we got any Maths teachers who can comment on this?
 
Chart for the week.

Looks like it's been a bit of a tough one again, a right mixed bag of results. A near record low, and a record equalling high....
No fails, but only x5 scores under 25, and x2 in the 30's club.
Saturdays word alone brought up x5 double bogeys.

Star of the week goes to @cumbrianmackem with an outstanding score of 17, a score only ever bettered by his good Lady, Cumbriette....superb stuff.
Wishing you both well......<hug>

Runner up spot goes to @Gordon Armstrong with an excellent score of 21.
<applause><applause><applause>
(Bonus <applause> for today's rather excellent looking birdie....looks cold).

Honourable mentions to @clockstander and @Row 3 who both scored 23, and @Ron with 24.

Hopefully see @flandersmackem back this week after golfing trip, hope you had a great time.

The 40's club....it couldn't happen, could it?

Thanks for this Snaggey. I know you get thanked a lot for doing it, but it keeps me competitive (or trying to be competitive).

But is it? I've heard actuaries debating this (laws of probability etc) but it was lost on me <laugh>

I think the law of probability says it’s 25% chance of getting 2 heads in a row. The difference between tossing a coin and Wordle is that tossing a coin is pure chance whereas Wordle does involve some skill and intelligence
