STARE
STALK took a chance because because itβs not a repeat
FINCH: one hour to find a burner word to rule in/out Staff, Staid, Stain, Stamp, Stand, and Stash
STAND
Even though I knew a repeat must be coming and that STANG is not generally considered proper English, I kept trying new words. Glad I finally tried the right one.

First guess left 11 options, but 10 had been used. Looked at when they were used before to narrow it to three I thought most likely, but decided to use a burner word to narrow it down. It left only the answer.
Mark Davis
When NYT announced that they would start repeating words, they also said there might be some days when the word was related to the real world. The closest I have noticed so far was βbloomβ on valentines day, but that may have just been a coincidence. Has anybody else noticed anything on that front?

Same start word, but you went straight to it while I stupidly tried an unused first. I KNEW it would be a repeat, but still tried SLANT. π€¦π»ββοΈπ
Interesting, not one letter in the right place! Not revealing your starters allowed me to try to guess what they were. Considering the odds are astronomical, I came up with somewhat reasonable ones, LAPSE #1 and DONUT #2. Close?
The highest level stat I update daily at the top of the list is Repeat Rate. It has hovered around 10% to 12% chance of repeat. Conversely, the odds of the answer being a new word (not on list) is about 89%. Should we ever approach 50% repeat rate, the Five Forks Wordle list utility goes way down in terms of odds.

I’m curious of the list mentioned not of repeat words. Is there a list of future words? Another by Tracey? Adds? I’m out of the historic loop, or confused!
I have not heard of different solve words for same puzzle # / same day in years. It was an old software bug. What is the other solve word?
Hi there!
I saw “stair” on ADK’s post before it was corrected!
Hi there!
I mean “start”, lol.

I knew it was coming, yet went with the unused for #3…Looking like 4 is to become my new par instead of 3 at this rate! Oh well…
I like using
* Easy Mode,
* RTLSNC HDYPM (thanks to Jack
* the word finder on the Miriam Webster site, and
* the Wordle Solver on The Word Finder site.
After STAPH, the four words left were all PU. STAGY was the last word I could think of that had not been a solution. Of the four STAFF was #34 and START #84. For me the big takeaway was that STAPH is a possible solution, even though there will be a lot of grumbling about βabbreviations.β
Weβll have a little breather for a few days without repeats, I hope!

Sorry for the matutinal mixup.

Maybe, maybe not. My solve here was STAND, not START. Another weird anomaly?
Paul Cooper
was START really your last guess or an “opps”
mine was STAND #57
I donβt know what happened: a senior couple of minutes? I was copying the words from my legal pad where I work out my solutions, somehow I got both words wrong. π€·

A repeat following a new word add two days in a row!
Your list helped me decide on stand over stank as my guess, but I was wondering if Tracey would pull a double add and tempt-ed to use Stang. I decided she would not do that to us yet.
I had the same decision as you.
Ultimately decided that STANG was not a likely add. Past tense of STING is STUNG. STANG is a bit more rare.
She’s done 2 ADD’s in a row before, but this is the first time it’s been an ADD followed by a REPEAT.
Now I think it will be about 10 days before either unless she’s picking up the rate a little bit.
We’re pretty close to %75 of the original 2309 (once you subtract the 6 NYT removed) words being played.

How did you know it was going to be a repeat? Wish I had known
Well, I didnβt know for a fact, but based on the pattern of repeats it seemed highly likely.

My very rare 3. Mostly I’m 4-5-6. Never 2 and only once guessed right on the first try.
A 3 is my favorite. You get a little more skill and play time in than a 2 or 1. Congrats!
(1) ROATE (Narrows it down to SHALT, STALK, SLANT)
(2) SLANT (Rules out all the above! Must be a repeat or an add! STAND(57), STANK(1707), STANG unlikely? derivative word. past tense.
(3) STAND (earliest repeat)
STAFF was used #34
Thanks. I am not sure how I missed that one. Perhaps, lucky that I did!
Oh, I know why. I had the “N” in “SLANT”.
Close but no CIGAR!
Brilliant Wordle repeat pun!

I thought itβd be a repeat. When that wasnβt it I chose staph – new word. Then went back to earliest option on PU words. Some luck for sure.

Is there a calendar or graph somewhere that shows the dates or frequency/interval rate for reused words?
I want to maintain a “stats” page that would have repeat analysis. This isn’t it, but it’s a start:
CIGAR (1689) – SQUAD (1704) = 15 days
SQUAD (1704) – AWAKE (1708) = 4 days
AWAKE (1708) – LINEN (1718) = 10 days
LINEN (1718) – GRADE (1730) = 12 days
GRADE (1730) – IVORY (1742) = 12 days
IVORY (1742) – COMET (1745) = 3 days
COMET (1745) – SANDY (1750) = 5 days
SANDY (1750) – STAND (1765) = 15 days
Cool, thanks! If there’s a human involved in the decision-making when to repeat a word, they probably have a subconscious pattern.
