h/t to @MacBoyGamer for the updated 25/26 per comments! |
yes, still sorting out best way to add some sort of ymmv disclaimer:
-- no words will work all the time, in theory we can only cover 25/26 letters
-- this list only covers 24/26 letters, and so do need to keep P & Q in mind
-- it's only intended to reduce solving time without having to think about what words to play since just use that word list every day
-- so in my case, open wordle, enter crwth faxed vulgo zinky jambs and one minute later either solved or missed for day, and don't do what was doing, which was spend, idk, 15m every day and too much brain power to solve in fewest guesses
all to say -- sorry if reads like always works -- it doesn't, 80% of time is probably about my experience, probably 60% for most folks until get hang of using it -- any ideas on how to convey that as part of intro definitely welcome
Personally, I would rather use these words: GLENT BRICK JUMPY VOZHD WAQFS.
These words cover 25 of 26 letters, excluding X. And, because X is rarely in a word, we can safely assume that if you only get 4 letters, it's either a double letter or the slight change of there being an X in the final word.
I hope this helps...
that's awesome! had done the first set by hand and hadn't had chance to write seeker code to see if 25/26 existed -- thanks!

The answer was sport. These words do not always work.
