Wordle 1,273 X/6

SOLAR
COLOR a stupid choice, with L in the third spot...
TONER
POWER
GOYIM
JOKER

ugh. I know better than to chase the answer. After my fifth (an actual filter word) I saw two possibles and of course picked the wrong one. I'm considering downloading the list of previous solutions, lol.

My seed for game 1,273 was also quite lucky as it left me with only 10 possible solutions, so I did a bit better than the global mean of 5.172

I used SONAR yesterday and changed it to SOLAR today. I don't think keeping SONAR would have helped me.

Your chase was doomed from the beginning. Check out the letter in position 2 in all 6 tries.

I profusely apologize. My aging eyesight deceived me. I missed the first column and thought that the third column is the second. Sorry for the confusion I may have caused, I should have looked closer and known better.

[SANER] 14 left
[JUICY] filter - 2 left: BUNNY FUNKY
[FUNKY] most probable

I noticed that lately, there have been many words with letters that rarely occur (like F and K). BUNNY was also a good candidate with the double Ns, but the word choice seems to have shifted from positive, cute words to more challenging ones.

most-probable method count update (Success/Fail): 40/22 - 64.5%/35.5%

[LEAST] 3 left: BOAST ROAST TOAST
[ABORT] filter - 1 left
[BOAST]

I did not use the most-probable method as TOAST and ROAST seemed very tempting. (Especially that ROAST is an excellent seed word I used just 2 days ago.) But I was still tormented by the fact that every answer lately has a rarely occurring letter, like B.

My choices in the future will lean more and more toward words with rarely occurring letters.

... But I was still tormented by the fact that every answer lately has a rarely occurring letter, like B. ...

Interesting. Although 'B' is in the lower half by overall count(18/26), it ranks #3 as a leading character. Would that make it a 'Schrödinger' letter? Both good and bad to use in seed words? Are there other such letters?

7 left. Interestingly, TEPEE, known as one of the worst possible openers, is among them
PETTY - possible solution and guaranteed filter

HEFTY and JETTY have rare occurring letters. HEFTY was my favorite, but JETTY was a guaranteed filter if I was wrong.
