Wordle is a game where the goal is to guess the correct five-letter word in as few guesses as possible. Just a little more indicative than rounding to the nearest integer! There is a strategy for solving the shade/shake etc problem as long as you are not in hard mode, you can guarantee to get it in 5 or less after the second guess. I try to do it first thing in the morning before anyone can inadvertently tell me the answer but no-one else can verify that I really do that, except perhaps my wife, and even she would not know if I had secretly checked the wordle source code to find out in advance what word was coming up. If it shows more numbers in 2 guesses, youre in the top 5 percentile among the Wordle players. So others after me dont spend an hour trying to google this simple fact. And yes, it is fun to play with your kids. If win % is 100 how are my streaks not equal to my games played? Once it is then I will pick a new one, and at that point I will be doing some mild cheating in that I will exclude all the solutions Ive already seen, thus increasing my chances of another 1st guess solution. But, I found out today as I reached 199 correct out of 200 plays, that my regrettable 99% reached 99.5% (199200=.995) that Wordle rounds UP!!! I played this game for years as Jotto: Achieved with three guesses is excellent but not uncommon. A further thought I dont think Wordle repeats words, at least not for now, so if you have a good memory for the words you have already solved the pool of possibilities will be decreasing every day and thus improving your chance of getting quick solutions somewhat. I would like to see Wordle provide (in the summary) the average number of tries for a given word. I, too, had concluded the Streak was the number of consecutive days of wins, and if you failed to play for a day, your streak would end. It works well, but the day I chose not to start off with train, one of my favorites, was the day that train was the solution. ._9ZuQyDXhFth1qKJF4KNm8{padding:12px 12px 40px}._2iNJX36LR2tMHx_unzEkVM,._1JmnMJclrTwTPpAip5U_Hm{font-size:16px;font-weight:500;line-height:20px;color:var(--newCommunityTheme-bodyText);margin-bottom:40px;padding-top:4px;text-align:left;margin-right:28px}._2iNJX36LR2tMHx_unzEkVM{-ms-flex-align:center;align-items:center;display:-ms-flexbox;display:flex}._2iNJX36LR2tMHx_unzEkVM ._24r4TaTKqNLBGA3VgswFrN{margin-left:6px}._306gA2lxjCHX44ssikUp3O{margin-bottom:32px}._1Omf6afKRpv3RKNCWjIyJ4{font-size:18px;font-weight:500;line-height:22px;border-bottom:2px solid var(--newCommunityTheme-line);color:var(--newCommunityTheme-bodyText);margin-bottom:8px;padding-bottom:8px}._2Ss7VGMX-UPKt9NhFRtgTz{margin-bottom:24px}._3vWu4F9B4X4Yc-Gm86-FMP{border-bottom:1px solid var(--newCommunityTheme-line);margin-bottom:8px;padding-bottom:2px}._3vWu4F9B4X4Yc-Gm86-FMP:last-of-type{border-bottom-width:0}._2qAEe8HGjtHsuKsHqNCa9u{font-size:14px;font-weight:500;line-height:18px;color:var(--newCommunityTheme-bodyText);padding-bottom:8px;padding-top:8px}.c5RWd-O3CYE-XSLdTyjtI{padding:8px 0}._3whORKuQps-WQpSceAyHuF{font-size:12px;font-weight:400;line-height:16px;color:var(--newCommunityTheme-actionIcon);margin-bottom:8px}._1Qk-ka6_CJz1fU3OUfeznu{margin-bottom:8px}._3ds8Wk2l32hr3hLddQshhG{font-weight:500}._1h0r6vtgOzgWtu-GNBO6Yb,._3ds8Wk2l32hr3hLddQshhG{font-size:12px;line-height:16px;color:var(--newCommunityTheme-actionIcon)}._1h0r6vtgOzgWtu-GNBO6Yb{font-weight:400}.horIoLCod23xkzt7MmTpC{font-size:12px;font-weight:400;line-height:16px;color:#ea0027}._33Iw1wpNZ-uhC05tWsB9xi{margin-top:24px}._2M7LQbQxH40ingJ9h9RslL{font-size:12px;font-weight:400;line-height:16px;color:var(--newCommunityTheme-actionIcon);margin-bottom:8px} All the rest are accepted words when trying to determine the answer.

My guess incidentally is that even with the optimum starting word the sum score for all 2300 solutions will be > 23000 making an average performance of 10% second guess wins increasingly unlikely as the sum score gets bigger. Individuals who guess the word correctly are likely to post about it and even then, the likelihood of share increases with their perception of how well they did guessing. Total: Your GPA in four subjects is 2.84. That said, I dont play against time as Paul does. Only Wordle can provide accurate stats.
