Wordle 788 3/6* old

seemed more likely of the 3, (even it does not help!)

Wordle 788 3/6* new
108 poss
3 poss
by now I knew which to choose, no need to be lucky twice

Before each line 2 I looked for group problems and picked the most useful letters to help if groups. Weird coincidence both dropped to 3 possibles.

Wordle 789 4/6* old
70 poss (4 or 5 groups of 3 or 4, took a while to decide next)
6 poss
I think this guaranteed a 4 for all 6, pleasing. Just 1...


Wordle 789 4/6* new
68 poss
3 poss
(ignored answer, chose to guarantee 4) only 1

New won out here having a higher chance of a 3. I chose to be honest and stick to my method in the new version, even though I had just played line 3 in old version and spotted the solution.

1 poss


Wordle 790 5/6* new
32
10 poss
2 poss
(I knew it was the other but would have chosen this wrong one)

So today the old ways are the best ways.
Over the last 20 plays both ways score the same 3.5 average.

Guess 2! Took a while though and only got 2 words that would fit. So good guess by me!
