“Solid choice,” it told me about my first guess. “On average, someone who guesses[REDACTED]will cut the number of possible solutions to just 194.” Hell yeah. Go me. My second guess was also pretty good.
Nice," WordleBot told me. “Before your guess, there were 44 possible solutions, but now there is only one. You should solve the puzzle on your next turn.” Oh no.
Reader dear, I did not solve the puzzle on my next turn. I burned several duds fishing for letters before hitting it on guess 5. Sure, I wasn’t feeling good about going 5/6 today, but until WordleBot stuck its nose into my business I had no idea I ‘should’ have got it on turn 3. Shove it, WordleBot.
The NYT explained inThursday’s announcementthat WordleBot was born of debate over the best word to pick for your first guess.
So they created a robot to make me feel bad. They say that they hope WordleBot “will help you think about Wordle more analytically, which will help you get better at solving the puzzles in the long run”. It is useful for that, as much as I loathe to admit it. They also suggest that its efficiency ratings could “serve as a tiebreaker of sorts” if you’re in heated competition with your pals and tie on a puzzle.
I’m more of a -dle player, me. I flit across the many, many daily puzzle games which borrow parts of the Wordle formula (and often parts of its name), casually checking outsongsandmoviesandmapsandweatherandStreet Viewandfootballersrather than settling down to master any one game. And that’s a perfectly reasonable explanation for why I did bad today, okay. Shut up.
