I decided to use a word from my Starts List that I’d never used before. At that point I suspected a T word and was torn between TRUNK and TUMOR. Went with the latter since it had better letters, IMO. 🤦🏻♀️ Oh well. I’m still happy with the 🐦⬛.

The ADDs are coming!
Expect about 4 REPEATs and 12 ADDs over the next month. (That means at least 14 OG NU.)
Then the ADDs ramp up to over a %50 rate.
Also, the REPEAT rate will decline by a lot. (I’m not saying zero.)
————————————————————————
Keep in mind that the pool sizes are still different.
OG NUs: 443 words.
ADDs: 592 words.
1YRs: 340 words.
Love it! Thank you. I’ve taken note ✍🏻
Just to be clear. In your pools of ADDs and 1YRs, are they all NU, as are the OGs?
(1YRs—some are already used twice, just wondering if you’re also including those from the 1YRS who have been used a second time.)
If there is 365 days in a year, and the total left is 340. That means 25 REPEATs have happened.
I may have to revisit that number, because a couple of the REPEATs were not 1YR, but I think it’s only 2.
So, 342 is probably the right number.
If they decide to start playing REPEATs “>1YR” at a higher rate, then that changes the math by a lot.
Only SANDY #1126 and SMILE #830 are >1YR.
So, 342 is correct.
The 1YR by definition are played words in the first year of Wordle.
All other words are NU.
Thanks mucho for the clarification!
Thanks JD!
You bet.
Saving your post for future reference. Thanks!

You played this the right way.
I had BRUNT, GRUNT, TRUNK left. Also, 1YRs WRUNG was available.
So, playing the T at the end and a G makes a lot of sense.
Your row 1 green beat my row 1 yellow. U better! 😉

Okay, this was ridiculously lucky. Played my regular starting word, which the bot tells me left 148 words. Don’t know why THUNK and TRUNK came to mind, but I checked whether either one had been the solution before, and went with what seemed more likely. Couldn’t believe it when all the tiles flipped green. Only afterwards did I check to see that THUNK isn’t even in the WB list.
Lucky 🦆!
Congrats to you and all the 2s

⬜🟩🟩🟩🟨 BRUNT
🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 TRUNK
RAISE leaves 22 OG NU.
Matching one letter in the wrong position 2 days in a row.
Where are all the words with “i” and “y”?
CRONY would give me a 3 in 12 of those cases assuming it’s an OG NU word.
I counted all the ADDs and 1YRs. There are 29 of those. So, it’s not a great start.
CRONY leaves
OG NU: BRUNT, GRUNT, TRUNK
1YR: FRONT #79, WRUNG #225
Either BRUNT or GRUNT would give me 4.
BRUNT was 1st alphabetically; so, I went that way.
BRUNT left only TRUNK.

⬜🟩⬜⬜⬜ AROSE
🟨🟨⬜🟨⬜ UNITY
⬜🟩🟩🟩🟨 GRUNT
⬜🟩🟩🟩🟨 BRUNT
🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 TRUNK
This is my Monday morning wake-up performance: two bloopers:
I changed TUNIC into UNITY as the second word. TYING or TUNIC are much better second words than UNITY in this case and would give TRUNK on 3rd try.
And I missed TRUNK as 4th word and blindly typed BRUNT, which could never be correct. I need to sit on my hands!!
In UNITY with the AROSE’rs, I now take the BRUNT of my bloopers and GRUNT: “I should have stayed in my TRUNK!”
Have you guys considered following AROSE with LINTY?
In my analysis, you get a slightly better yellow score, because of the L vs U.
I use LINTY when AROSE gives all blanks. When a green “R”, TUNIC and TYING are better (but not much) than LINTY.
Right, I meant in cases where no letters were matched rather than R in the right position.
TUNIC and TYING are interesting plays.
I haven’t charted AROSE; so, I am not certain what word I would go with without doing that when an R is the correct position.

Looking over recent answers and my favorite “starter pairs,” I decided to flip Close and Train, but Train ledto Trend (‘23) and Trunk. That worked out well today. 🙂

I was literally singing in my head “It’s all about that base, ‘bout that base” a clear reference to my 🧠 to type TRUNK but instead I was the BRUNT of my own joke.
“Oh, Henry!” The junk ain’t in my TRUNK, it’s in my brain. 🤦🏻♀️
I had just been listening to Taj Mahal – Leavin Trunk
JeffC—Good call… that’s a much, much better option than Meghan Trainor (although not as funny).
Taj Mahal is on many of my playlists. Got to see him at the Winnepeg Folk Festival in 2004.
Trainor is on zero playlists. I apologize for any 👂🏻🪱ing. 😞
🆘 I’ll be using that!
I hope there’s no need for either of us to ever use it 😜
The 🆘 is a nice addition!

I have no idea how you pulled that one off—do tell! 🙌🏻 22 nu.wl and 15 first year repeats. And, no clue how many possible ➕s. It was beyond me.
I don’t have the skills/info you first Wordlers have. I have my personal lists that relate to SLATE. The first two words on my list were trunk and trump. Liked the p but not the word. Both at 58% Tying also a contender tho. Hmmm. Tried TRUNK to see where it led. SHAZAM.

Prof. Mike’s Word of the Week; chosen by popular vote
My list of possibilities for second word favored an NK ending. After STUNK I thought of TRUNK and THUNK, the latter guessed by 8% of my 405 others. Apparently not as in “Who’da thunk it?” but in the onomatopoeic sense. Anyway WordleBot did not consider it, so TRUNK made a checkmate three solve.
Good ☀️/🌃 to all!

🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 TRUNK
WB said 17, but I only had 3 words on my quick reference list that would fit the info gained in the first two turns.
I didn’t think Tracy is ready to pull the TRUMP card yet, and I chose to go with the WHOLE word TRUNK instead of the “prefix” word INTRO, and it worked. A fairly easy choice for me. I didn’t agonize or hesitate at all
If you STEAL a DIRTY TRUNK, you never know what might be in it. Even the unmentionable random card TB still has up her sleeve! 🤔
and if you think of Nelly The Elephant, what comes out of her (perhaps DIRTY) TRUNK?

Looks like you had the same 3 NU words that I did, but you picked the winner. Congrats!
Nice 3!
What I like is that, in addition the vowel search, you’ve used a lot of what I think of as ‘connecting consonants’.
I know all consonants connect to other consonants in at least some words. But S, L, P, T, R, and even D and N to a lesser degree, connect with a wide variety of other consonants.
They’re obviously popular letters with higher chances to be in a Wordle solution. But also eliminating them as possibilities can greatly narrow down the remaining word pool.
a very precise analysis. Tnx
