Of course, with DIMPS there is a 40% chance of 00000 which would have led to 4 possible answers - BRAKE BRAVE GRAVE or GRAZE. IN this case, wordlebot would have selected from all these answers...

If DIMPS had scored 20000, then (combined with TRACE's 02202), the only possible answer would be DRAKE. If 20020, then DRAPE, and so on.

The four best words to play: DAMPS, DIMPS, DUMPS or KEDGE. God knows what they mean. None would have scored very well - BUT given any of the possible 10 answers still on the table, these guesses could have each generated 7 unique scores. DIMPS was selected from the 4 at random.

Time for a dive into how the wordlebot selects its guesses...

After being given the score for its standard opener (TRACE - 02202), the wordle dictionary was scanned for all words that matched that score. 10 possibilities.

But these were the kinds of images showing up in my feed on tuesday. So maybe 3/6 ain't so bad after all.

The wordlebot managed Tuesday's wordle in 3. Doesn't look so impressive on first glance. 3 greens on the first try... surely getting it in 2 was possible...?
