Wordle 1,192 3/6
I'm not gonna insinuate you "figure" a lot.... well, in fact yes... Yes I am. Well played though. :)jack action said:Wordle 1,192 3/6
[CLASH] 25 left
[SANER] filter & possible answer - 3 left: SEPIA STEAK STEAM
[STEAM] Gut feeling said it was either STEAK or STEAM. I figured the puzzle was made by someone living in a metropolis, thus probably a vegan, so "steamed" vegetables it is!
This is the same problem as selecting a good password. If the selection process is done by a human being, then another human being is capable of the same thought process, thus finding it [rather] easily. No matter how smart and unique you think you are, somebody else will think like you just as well.sbrothy said:I'm not gonna insinuate you "figure" a lot.... well, in fact yes... Yes I am.

I know what you mean. I'm reminded about that joke/quiz/trick where you're asked a bunch of questions and ends up selecting a red hammer.jack action said:This is the same problem as selecting a good password.

The only good password is one randomly selected by a machine. Even someone running a program creating a random password more than once - until they find one "that looks good" - is too much human intervention.
This puzzle is obviously selected with human intervention somehow, so "figuring out" is most likely a good strategy.
What makes you think it is though?jack action said:If the selection process is done by a human being
Apart from selecting a number of words to allow, I donβt think this is obvious. Among the list of allowed words (which we know), the process could be randomized by machine for all we know. Unless, of course, you have some actual indication that it isnβt.jack action said:This puzzle is obviously selected with human intervention somehow, so "figuring out" is most likely a good strategy.

Well maybe you know the allowed words and maybe others do, but I don't. And I don't have a list of previous solutions, either.Orodruin said:Among the list of allowed words (which we know),
@jack action is obviously using the list, which is all that matters here.gmax137 said:Well maybe you know the allowed words and maybe others do, but I don't. And I don't have a list of previous solutions, either.

Well, it seems your systematic approach pays off. If you would just trust it that is.jack action said:Wordle 1,193 4/6
[CLASH] 13 left, with 8 beginning with HA
[HAUNT] filter and possible answer - 2 left: HAVEN HANDY.
[HAVEN] Seemed just a little bit more likely to be picked by a human.
[HANDY]
The filter word suggested by my program as a 2nd guess was ENTRY - It would have left only HANDY. I should have trusted the program instead of trying to make it in 2.
Hah. Fun find!.Orodruin said:Fascinating

Guessing now that we all know the game, this should be really easy:

OK. Not bad. Thought I'd made it harder with a lot of similar vocals. I guess with the right initial guess that can be a weakness as well.OmCheeto said:Wordle guessed in 3/6!

We all know you have to say that. You get βluckyβ suspiciously often. (By which I mean youβre good at this, not insinuating youβre cheating. Just making that clear!)OmCheeto said:Wordle 1,195 2/6
100% luck. My seed left only one solution.
