Cheating is putting in random letters into useful investigatory spots and hitting "enter" to see if maybe-possibly that's a real word that could maybe-possibly yield some new insights. Not that I've ever tried that, because that would be cheating, but, I have heard that wordle just rejects the impostor word with a terse message Quote that word is not in our word list 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe I don’t understand the way it works as well as I thought I did. I figured out why it doesn’t work. There’s a bank of 2000-some words that can be answers, but 10,000-some that are valid guesses. My word must have been a valid guess but not answer. I think I would have to choose a word that was a previous answer to (without using exactly the same guesses, because that would be boring).

I think it’s because it picks the biggest bank of possible words and it might be that the bank of possible words without any of your initial letters might be smaller than the bank with some. I’ve also had a first letter correct. I’m kinda enjoying trying to figure out the algorithm. I must admit wordle took longer than usual possibly because I wasn’t playing in that mode.

Tenaj Posted February 12, 2022 Share Posted February 12, 2022 My dh and I have been having a friendly wordle competition.. I got the word in three today and was bragging. My 12yodd got interested. She is a terrible speller but I set it up for her on her computer and helped her get started except she was in the same room with my dh so they were working kind of together and my dh was groaning because he couldn't figure it out. All of a sudden my dd shouts I got it. In three tries - she didn't even know the word as a word - just used straight up logic 🤣🤣.
