Step-by-Step Replay of Wordle 231 Puzzle
Guess #1
Yesterday I TRIED Wordle Archive for the first time and played Wordle puzzle #1. So yeah, we have one 5-letter word right there to try lol.
Guess #2
No help there with just a single clue from the T. I’m inclined to test words like STAMP or STACK, but looking to include an O or U as well… How about SHOUT instead?
Guess #3
O (in the middle of the word) and T with an intervening space, but no R? Hmm that leaves the possibility of A to fill that space, without thinking too much. In a flash, I saw FLOAT as worth a shot…
Guess #4
No prizes doing a transpose here 🙂 ALOFT it is!
Effort put into logical deduction can pay off well.
In today’s game, the O_T sequence was worth looking into, though I stopped short at the A. Knowing that letters R and U weren’t present helped lots; but I could have spotted the F if I did dig further.
Question is, would I have entered ALOFT as the third guess to complete Wordle 231 sooner by one move?
Without much historical data to fall on, I can’t really say the game favours uncommon words. But we did see an answer like SHARD from a previous puzzle, when SHARP or SHARK are familiar words (to most people I reckon).
Perhaps that was an one-off case; or it could be hinting at something lol.
Wordle experts out there, what do you think?
