Interesting thing I discovered after playing yesterdays game. Of the top 15 global seed words, only one remained as a valid solution after the game.

12/30/2024 STARE​

rank	seed	%	notes
1	ADIEU	7.3	vowel rich
2	STARE	5.9	high value solution for this game
3	AUDIO	4.3	vowel rich
4	RAISE	2.8	high value
5	CRANE	2.7	high value
6	SLATE	2.6	high value
7	ARISE	1.8	high value only remaining valid solution on this list
8	TRAIN	1.4	high value
9	IRATE	1.3	high value
10	HEART	0.9	high value
11	GREAT	0.9	high value
12	HOUSE	0.9	high value
13	TRACE	0.8	high value
14	AISLE	0.7	high value
15	LEAST	0.7	high value
total	---	35%	---

Also, I don't think I've ever seen such symmetry in the scoring.
Compare percentages for 1 vs 5, and 2 vs 4 guesses.

BREAK - picked today for its "uncommon" letters B and K
LEMON - I use this one frequently, a nice mix of common letters
turns out LEMON was a very good guess today

[SPEAR] 13 left
[JUNTO] filter - 3 left: CHOSE LOOSE WHOSE
[CHOSE] filter - most probable

• LOOSE wasn't a filter and is a very bland word;
• WHOSE is a pronoun/determiner making the word bland as well;
• CHOSE is a noun with French origins (I don't think they use simple past verbs as solutions), making it more exotic and challenging to find.

The ispoiler tag doesn’t work on lists. At least not on Safari on mobile. Making this a huge spoiler …

I thought we'd had CHOSE before so unfortunately I initially went with WHOSE. :(

I don't look at the list of used words until I'm finished with the puzzle. I see my second, third, and fourth words were already used. As the game wears on, 'counting cards' becomes a bigger and bigger advantage (no sh*t, Sherlock!)

Many times you can cut down a list of remaining words from like 10 to 2 to 4 when applying the list of used words.the effect is significant

You don't believe in using SPOILER warnings, huh?!

They did, the ispoiler tags just don’t work when surrounding a list it seems. See #6105

As a result, this was spoiled for anyone opening the thread before playing.

For this reason, I try to remember to always preview when using spoilers tags.

Aah. Makes more sense now then.

They do with a good browser - preview and all:

The problem was corrected (I think) for those who cannot access quality software and even less desirable software.

Problem is when they don’t work on the standard iOS browser though … which is what most iOS users will be on.

Is your seed word ALERT? If so, I get the five remaining words: BALER PALER RELAX RELAY RENAL. How did you select the correct answer? Any of the first four words would have given the same odds.
