I might start a spreadsheet with all of the words used so far so I can eliminate them, have they ever repeated any words.

No not yet. I can supply you with the words already used and/or the valid ones remaining

My system:
1. Eliminates all words already used
2. It then eliminates all words that don't have the greens in the right place
3. It eliminates all words that don't contain the yellows. Checks each individually
4. It eliminates all words that have the yellow in the same place as the yellows returned. Checks each individually
5. Eliminates all words containing the grey letters. Checks each individually
6. Produces a list of valid words remaing for the next guess

Repeat 2-6 for each guess

Sounds a bit mechanical Ron. Where's the fun?

Wordle actually uses two dictionaries:

  • La words that can be guessed and which can be the word of the day
  • Ta words that can be guessed but are never selected as the word of the day
La contains 2,315 words, Ta contains 10,657 words. The lists only contain unique words. No word shows up in both lists, making for a total of 12,972 which can be guessed

1179 words have been used so far

Chart for the week, and it's a good un again.

X10 scores under 25, and I dunno what the new pirate barmaid was like, but there's no 30's club again this week. Shame, she looked canny.
We did have x1 fail for the week, but @flandersmackem still managed a good week and an honouable mention despite that. <applause><applause>

Star of the Week goes to @cumbrianmackem with an outstanding score of 19. x5 birdies and x2 eagles is a cracking return for the week.
<applause><applause><applause><applause>

Runner up spot, and household bragging rights goes to @Whittylad with an excellent 20. <applause><applause><applause><applause>

Honourable mentions to @malagamackem with 22.
@flandersmackem and @TornMiniscus with 23.
@Best uncapped Keeper, @Blond Bombshell, @Gordon Armstrong, @Ron and Whittylass, all with 24.

No 30's club week, but after my double bogey today it could be open again next week.
I hope the pirate barmaid comes back, I quite liked her....and I've got some good card games to show her :emoticon-0127-lipss.

Is 'science' appropriate for this game (I'll never use it), and do some want to take away the enjoyment just to guess the right words quicker :emoticon-0112-wonde

I must admit the fun for me is the challenge of trying to get the 5 greens to turnover (GTFI ) and the “stress” of using up a guess and not finding them ( Oh FFS) . My main objective is to better my streak ( current record is 137 ) which at the moment is 10 - so a long way to go yet. If I can top Snaggey’s weekly chart now and again even better and if I can stay out of the 30s club well that’s an achievement as well.

You better stay out this week, there's a pirate barmaid in there with my name on.

So there are virtually 13,000 acceptable words you can guess but less than 1200 that can possibly be correct <yikes>
