It always makes me a bit TESTY when I get zilch right out of the gate. Luckily, my 2nd guess saved me this time.

I was thinking TESTY very early on, but didn’t want to stumble into a 4 or more if the word was an early repeat, or THINE.

🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 TestyStare yielded 3 words not on the PUL: Pesto, Testy, and Unset, a new word for me and considered “rare” for frequency of use. In a sentence: The jeweler showed us some unset diamonds. I was hoping that Ms. Bennett would go with Pesto which made me think of delicious Pesto Bruschetta, but perhaps she was feeling a little testy when she chose today’s answer. 🙂

Pesto Bruschetta sounds yummy!

You can have the pesto bruschetta. I’ll take the unset diamonds. 💎

Wordle 1,818 2/6
⬜⬜⬜🟩🟨 ROATE
🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 TESTYMy first 2 of the month!
However, not that miraculous, because ROATE narrowed it down to only 2 choices. JETTY and TESTY.
So, outside of an ADD or a REPEAT, it was a 50-50 chance for me.
============================
A lacrosse stick with a ball?-
Congrats! If Roate doesn’t lead to the answer, what do you usually use for a second guess?
-
We’ll I know that ROATE will never lead to the answer. ORATE might be the answer, but it’s green score is slightly lower.
In regards to second guesses, it depends on the pattern I get back from ROATE. These are mostly preplanned.
For example, yesterday, when I get “A” in the wrong position, I have been guessing “GAILY”. The reason is that with the now 35 words left in that pattern, there are 16 with Y, 14 with L, 12 with I. G is a middling letter because there are only 8 words with G, but “GAILY” is better than “DAILY”, because there are only 4 words with “D” in it.
“GAILY” is an unplayed word in the 2315 word list.
I only play unplayed words in the 2315 list.
I used to guess “LYSIN” because there are 11 words with N and 8 words with S in it. However, LYSIN would be an ADD and not a very common word, and like “ROATE” would never be the answer. It also doesn’t use an “A”.
For patterns that have around 18 or fewer answers left, I create a chart. I pick a 2nd word from the list that I think will lead to as many answers in 3 as possible. If I think the 2nd guess will lead to a certain word in 3, I put an “X” there. If it narrows it down to 2 words, I put a “1/2” there. I count up all the “X”‘s. Whatever, word gives me the best chance of getting a “3”, that’s the one I go with (until it’s the answer and then I pick a different word from the list).
In a rare case, I might try to use a word not on the list, because none of the remaining words give me too many X’s. So, I’ll engineer a word from the most common letters.
BTW, I always count the letters in the word set to see which ones are the most common.
As words come off the list, I might change my second guess to suit the remaining words better.
And so I have a printed list of all the combinations of ROATE and what my second guess might be.
I don’t consider REPEATS or ADD’s until all the unplayed 2315 words have been eliminated. Since, they arrive %11-12 of the time, I feel that’s a trap.
This is the reason I can’t go to ORATE, I would have to redo a lot of this work. That would take weeks. LOL.
So, basically, I play the game far in advance.
As I said before, I recommend people don’t do what I do. I’ve turned a fun game into an obsession for victory and basically a bunch of work.

Thnx for sharing the very interesting strategies! My entire family thinks I’m obsessed with Wordle. I also recruited one of our teen granddaughters who says, “Another day, another Wordle!”’

Congrats of the low, and now lowering, average you mentioned yesterday!
Curious, how do you average in your one miss? I waver on using 7 for my misses or adding a penalty and making them 8s.
-
Hi Mike, that’s an excellent question!
I decided to score it as a “7”.
I admit that this is a but presumptuous that if they allowed infinite guesses that I would have guessed “CATCH” on the 7th guess.
In this case, I decided to give myself the benefit of a doubt.

RINSE. That will be the word someday
STEAL some start with this word
PESTO good guess, only 2 words left, which I was not aware
ZESTY almost there
TESTY and there goes my 3.0 avg for the month -
Seems like the Wordle ESP was stronger today. @Charles and I had the same thinking today. I used the FF Filters to see Testy was never played.

🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩I was thinking between TENSE and TESTY for #2. They both had double letters. I went for TENSE to nail down the vowel location. Technically Y would have been a good vowel to try, also. I just lost the coin flip.
Good news: the Wordle Bot eliminated TESTE as a possible future word with that 1 remaining after TENSE. -

Spot on 😊 – I will be in the queue next Wednesday off to the South Island with my daughter who wants to try her 1st skiing.
Likely to get the sub-zero (that does sound cold!!) temps down there
Sadly we wont be anywhere near Haast Pass – famous kea spot (to fend off these unique, aggressive kiwi icons)

We forget sometimes that you’re in the southern hemisphere and like GOT, winter is coming.

I never forget, JD. But, to your point I do forget about the reverse weather.
Are the Kea’s digging in the ice yet, Glenda? 🦜
-
Took me a second. A reminder for us farenheit people that 3°C is still above freezing.
So disconnect the hose and *maybe*, just in case, cover the outdoor spigot cold, not leave the faucets dripping if you’re going to be gone a few nights cold. … So, still shorts weather for some of us. 😁
… …Love the little keas, ever since reading about them in Douglas Adams’ ‘Last Chance to See’.
-
Mike that’s an excellent point.
It’s 37 F to be exact.
I wish we weren’t using Fahrenheit at all.
USA needs to get to the metric system. It’s really embarrassing.
We share this system only with Liberia and Myanmar(Burma) (I think).
-
I agree that the USA should switch to metric, JD, but not for the same reason. I’m not embarrassed at all that we are 1 of 3 countries that use Imperial because I don’t think popularity is a good reason to do anything.
Even if there were only 3 countries that used metric I would still think we should adopt it, because it is more logical, intuitive and efficient by virtue of being base 10.-
I agree on the usability of it.
====================Think of all the places where not using the metric system affects us and makes us less efficient and not able to communicate measurement with the rest of the world.
length – inches vs mm / meters
home construction – 2 X 4’s? really?
paper size – 8.5 X 11 paper vs. A4 paper size. forcing us to have special photocopy machines and printers.
volume – gallons and quarts vs. liters (at the gas pump / buying milk / getting a beer!)
fasteners – we have special screws, nuts and bolts with Imperial size vs the more logical metric size fasteners.
So many machines would have to be redesigned to get to metric!
temperature – we already mentioned this one. 0C at freezing makes more sense than 32F. 100C boiling makes more sense than 212F. F seems random.
pressure / tensile strength – lb/in2 vs Pa. (Pascals).
weight (mass)- lbs vs. N (grams)
=======================
America broke away from a King 250 years ago, but we’re still using the size of his foot to measure things.This doesn’t even happen in the UK (who still has a king)! (Mind you, they still do road mileage in miles – not sure why).
The fact that we share measurements with Myanmar shows how backwards this is.
It’s laughable.

A “secret” I.T. project at our company was code named Kea because the developers loved how that tough little parrot would dig in ice for food and eat the rubber wipers off your car.

I think I’d take that over what we had. It was 79° when I went to bed last night. Today it’s supposed to hit 103°. 🥵 Looks like I’ll be spending some time in the pool this afternoon. 🩱🏊♀️

Same start word today. Some day, some day. We’ll get to yell. . .

that’s why I began to use it – anticipating the sheer delight when it comes up (first) 😄
