🎨 Happy Birthday Rembrandt van Rijn (1606) and Linda Ronstadt (1946) 🎤
PSHAW 🥳🎊🤩 A lot of BUZZ! Two amazing 2s! Least and Sven both using STEAL immediately narrowed it down to 2 options, and 1 was a repeat. Record comments today surpassing the last two tied-record of 86: PUPPY #1837 & EMOJI #1826. A lot of fun comments today!

Pshaw? It’s just nonsense. What was Tracy thinking?
Agreed. It’s BOGUS (which would be a better choice for an ADD).
The only good thing about it is that it isn’t a REPEAT.

Ok, I am happy that Tracy gave us a new word, but still annoying and come next “talk like a pirate day” the word better be AARGH!!!
Thanks. That’s a good one. I just added AARGH to my list of suggestions.
The only problem is that ARGH is the primary spelling of that word.
Some say that AARGH is the sound of frustration, while ARRGH is the sound of a pirate. So is AARRGH a frustrated pirate?
Garrrr!
A new word? Really?

Imagine my confusion on turn 4
WAGYU has a COCA score of 72 which makes it more common than PSHAW by a tick. (COCA score of 70).
BUCKO has a COCA score of 101.
BUCKO made my suggested list of adds.
It is more common than GRIFT by COCA score (which TB added).
================================
The least common word by COCA score that she added was GUNKY which has a score of only 35.
What is a COCA score? That’s interesting — the only wordle I ever lost was GUNKY. 🤪
From the website.
https://www.english-corpora.org/coca/
The Corpus of Contemporary American English (COCA) was created by Mark Davies, and it is the only large and “balanced” corpus of American English. COCA is probably the most widely-used corpus of English, and it is related to other corpora from English-Corpora.org, which offer unparalleled insight into variation in English. (Compare COCA to the BNC: academic, informal, web texts)
The corpus contains more than one billion words of text (25+ million words each year 1990-2019) from eight genres: spoken, fiction, popular magazines, newspapers, academic texts, TV and movies subtitles, blogs, and other web pages.
=======================================
They track how many times a word shows up in printed texts and other things that they mentioned.
The score is how many times the words shows up per billion words.
It might not be an exact measure of how common a word is but it’s the best that I can find.
Cool beans. Thanks!
What is COCA?

Awesome grid interpretation. 😆 Likely, very accurate as well.
Great interpretation of the grid!
Kim S got there just before me.
I’ll have to type faster.
Well, I did win a county-wide typing contest in high school, so…🤷🏻♀️😆
I could just picture you typing up a storm in a classroom with your curly hair. LOL.
I was definitely typing up a storm and sporting my curly hair, but not in a classroom. No, it was in the middle of a local shopping mall just beneath the skylight and next to the fountain with all the hustle and bustle of a typical 80s mall. Just imagine a group of nerdy high schoolers typing away on our Selectrics while the cool kids strolled by shouting, “Hey, that chick’s in my typing class!” Such a weird experience.
The mall setting makes it even funnier! It’s like a scene out of Fast Times at Ridgemont High which they ultimately cut.
EXACTLY! That’s hilarious.😂
Love that!

A lot of these are “ED” words. / We can debate that later.
A couple may be controversial (e.g. BITCH, RAPED, PENIS) / Again, to be debated later on.
I would like to put these on a site where we can vote on them.

Thoughts on any of the words you like or dislike to be ADDs?
I am really surprised how many of those were not in the 2315 list.
I know, right?
What’s even more surprising is the number of rare words that were on the 2315 list to begin with.
For example, ECLAT was a word that I was looking at playing on 7/9. I decided on CLEAT instead. This is an anagram of ECLAT.
ECLAT’s COCA score is 37. This is lower than PSHAW which is 70.
Both scores are incredibly low!
By comparison CLEAT’s COCA score is 383.
That’s the number of times its found in a billion words.

Did you read the article in AGEIST last month where they interviewed TB? Direct quote from the article: “Today I added “trill,” “twill,” and “tress” to the Wordle database.” Thought you might like to know that.
I thought we might get a three-peat, hence my starting with STILE. Silly me. 🤦🏻♀️ But what a great choice for an add!

According to Wordle Tools..
7 ADDs and 4 REPEATS are expected in the next 40 days.
That’s an ADD every 6 days (on average)
That’s a REPEAT every 10 days (on average)
This is the original predicted pace BTW.
================================
The increase in ADD’s may reflect that she’s listening (maybe not to us, but to someone who is complaining).
I just wish these ADD’s would replace the REPEATS.
I think we all do. According to your list, there are so many that would be appropriate.

⬜⬜⬜⬜🟨 Toils
🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 Pshaw
Crane, Toils, left 7 possible answers, 4 of which had been used. Pshaw looked like the type of uncommon word that has been used recently. I have seen it in books, probably children’s books about the pioneers. My husband was raised by his grandma who grew up on the Kansas prairie in the late 1800s. I asked him if she ever used the word“Pshaw.” He said she used it often.
Wordle 1,852 4/6
⬜🟨⬜🟨⬜ RAISE
🟨⬜🟨⬜⬜ SLACK
⬜🟩⬜🟩⬜ ASSAY
🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 PSHAW
RAISE left me with 14 unplayed words on the 2315 list.
All these words start with the letter S.
I considered both SCALP and SLACK as second words.
SLACK gives me slightly better odds at a 3 than SCALP. Retrospectively, I wish I had played SCALP.
So, SLACK ruled out all of these words.
I am left with REPEATs or ADDs.
REPEATs still have higher odds and the only one that worked is ASSAY. A double letter of two letters! Surely, this was it!
Possible ADDs I was considering were HOSTA and UNSAY. I didn’t consider PSHAW at all.
ASSAY at least told me exactly where A and S were and that there were no duplicates.
I had to use a tool to find PSHAW which was the only word that worked.
WTH Tracy? There are much better words than this one
PSHAW’s COCA score is 70 uses per billion words.
What about HAIKU?
I definitely say PSHAW to this choice!

Well, if she adds words like LORIS and PSHAW, anything is possible.
I need to publish my suggested list FAST!
Found out today that WAGYU & BUCKO are not solves. Feels like they should be
PSHAW! I love the word. It’s a primary interjection that functions as le mot juste for a very specific flavor of dismissiveness—skepticism with a little theatrical flourish—that no synonym quite reproduces.
Yes, I am okay with it. I didn’t know that onomatopoeias were in the list at all. Pffft. Bahhh, TB is a tricky one
I’m not. This word is BOGUS (which is a far better ADD than this choice).
I get where you’re coming from and I agree that BOGUS makes more sense. I just happen to be a fan of the word PSHAW, so I am good with it.
She is that!

No S plurals and no repeats? Brilliant limitation and a plainly logical but nice rule by the original creator.
A curated list of words that have more valid guesses than solves? Confusing and not a choice I would make, but understandable in some cases.
Sold to nyt, smooth sailing.
Years later…
“What do we do for wordle? Make QoL changes like tapping letters to delete to that letter? Double tapping to delete individually? Too obvious.
When we approach the end of the list, should we expand it? Hmm.. maybe a little. Should we exhaust the current list and move on to 6 letters? Absolutely not…
I’ve got it. Let’s add repeats for no reason instead.”
This game sucks now but it is what it is. They paid a million dollars for this btw.
If he could have predicted it’s popularity, Josh Wardle should have asked for $10M at least.
NYT has done very little to change this program save the 43 words added to the answer list.
They removed FIBRE because of FIBER and that it was British English, but they left words like LORRY on the answer list. I find that inconsistent.
The first thing they should have done is hire a programmer and encrypt it; so, people couldn’t access the word lists. People can still access the answer list today (if you know what to do.)
When they get to the end of the word list, they should just put all the words on random selection.
They should add a ton of common words and remove all those that are uncommon.
6 letter wordle would be a different game and would require at least one more try (7 or 8?) to finish it. I am not sure I would play it. I have an app where I can play that version of the game.
Words With Friends has a version of regular Wordle, called “Guess Word”, but it is actually hard, because it uses the entire WWF dictionary of 5 letter words (which is huge). I’ve lost in that game many times. At least NYT is limited to 2309 + plus 43 ADDs (for now).
Not to make Jeb get out the popcorn again. 😁 …
But I would point out that FIBRE and FIBER are the same word with alternate spellings, the US spelling making more sense for NYT to use. LORRY is its own word separate from TRUCK or VAN. So why not keep it.
Were FAVOR and COLOR among the initial 43 added words? FAVOUR and COLOUR would have been too long. … We’ve seen FAVOR, but no COLOR yet.
Yes, I know. That wasn’t my point.
FAVOR and COLOR are on the 2315 list. So, they were not added.
COLOR hasn’t been played yet BTW.
I’ve always thought after x years (4?) shuffle the entire deck randomly and let everyone know ahead of time. And then keep the original rules.
What “rules” are those? Are they published?
I think regarding words ending in S and things like this. We are perceiving rules that actually didn’t exist in the first place.
I am sure I have seen such rules spelt out but maybe they weren’t official.
Maybe “rules” is the wrong word. Tendencies may be better.

I played STILE because I thought she might do a three-peat. Tricky Tracy is so unpredictable!
That is precisely what I’ve been trying to tell people.
You can’t predict the very day that the ADD’s or REPEATs are going to happen.
We think we can predict patterns of things like double letters and particular letters like C’s, U’s or ST’s, but maybe this is actually just random.

An Oscar is only a common noun as a South American aquarium fish. A proper noun as a name or award, a word for O in the phonetic alphabet. I learned that today.
Thanks for that!
One of the cool things about all this is learning new words.
Years ago I had an oscar in my aquarium. Damn thing ate nearly everything else in my tank! I sold him back to the aquarium store. Bad Oscar.
Did you also name him “Oscar”? I would have, because I’m goofy that way. LOL.
