All these results look rather compatible. I think we should make another test on our overall results. Please report the vector $(v_1,\ldots,v_7,v_8) = (\ldots)$ where $v_j$ represents the number of "solved in $j$ guesses" for $j<7\, , \,v_7=$ "number of failed attempts" and the check sum $v_8=$ "number of total rounds".

Mine is: $(0,37,181,278,165,48,20,729).$

(0, 6, 231, 338, 168, 41, 5, 789)

My distribution has evolved quite significantly towards lower numbers over time. For example, my last fail was 418 games ago and the streak before that was something like 270. Most fails came very early before I had any sort of strategy.

Went through my notes and untainted my scores to the best of my abilities/patience:

1, 52, 333, 359, 114, 22, 0, 881

It was fun looking over how naive I was in the beginning, and what a dreadfully slow learning curve I had.

Guessing that I didn't learn that games are a learning experience, rather than some kind of grade-school "My team beat your team! Ha! Ha!" driviality.

 

[fresh_42]

I need normal people, too, not only our cracks.

I have also attached a plot (at no extra cost) showing a calculated normal distribution based on $\mu$ and $\sigma$ obtained from the data. The calculation is shifted to the right probably because of the relatively higher scores I got as a newbie.

I always disliked plots of normal distributions together with data that is quite evidently very very discrete ….

It's only my curiosity to see how close the continuous distribution comes to the discrete. I have removed the offending plot. Do I get a smiley face now?

Even if I understood what you want from me I'm afraid that all the ones I skipped would eff it up. :)

Not really, since I add all vectors. And the more I get at the upper end, the more I need the other ones to get a meaningful average.

If you want, I can post everyones scores from game 660 on.
Data collection has been a hobby of mine since my military service.
hmmm....
Actually, I wrote down how many stamps I had from each country, right before I joined, so it's possible I've been fascinated with numbers my whole life.

That data is clearly biased though so it is not as informative as getting the actual numbers from people.

I'll take that as a no.

Well, up to @fresh_42 who asked for the data, but I would assume significant bias towards solutions with lower guesses just based on my own anecdotal experience. Even if not intentional, I feel much more inclined to share “good” results. If I solve it right after midnight and make a soso attempt, I might just go to sleep instead of jumping onto PF to share. In fact, it happened just last night:

Wordle 1 095 5/6







The third guess was really badly chosen. It put me off somewhat and so when I was done I just felt like going to sleep.

I publish bad results on purpose. I hope it makes the others feel better and motivates them to do better. My fails have many different reasons. Sometimes I lacked concentration, sometimes patience, sometimes they were words I did not think they qualify (literally German words, comic speak, or simply out of my vocabulary).

Errare humanum est.

 

[Orodruin]

I publish bad results on purpose.

All I am saying is people will have whatever reasons not to publish and that this will bias the data. Therefore data collected from this thread will invariably come with bias.

Errare humanum est.

Sed ad vere confundenda, computatro opus est.
