At present’s Wordle reply (recreation #640)
At present’s Wordle reply (recreation #640) is… TOUGH.
Properly, in a single sense it is TOUGH. As in, the reply is actually TOUGH. However in one other… nicely, not a lot for most individuals. In reality, WordleBot says individuals are fixing it in a median of three.7 guesses, making it one of many best solutions we have had just lately.
A have a look at the letters tells a part of the story for why that is likely to be; T is a quite common beginning letter, H is a quite common ending letter, and O and U are usually frequent. G is much less so, apart from when it is used firstly of a solution, nevertheless it’s hardly an X or Z.
That mentioned, I am barely stunned that the common rating is kind of that low. There are many solutions which have comparable letters to TOUGH, so you’ll count on the common to be increased in consequence. What’s extra, a lot of the finest Wordle beginning phrases will not have helped a lot right now. As an illustration, SLATE left 102 potential options, whereas the likes of CRANE (357), SLANT (180), CRATE (107) and STARE (119) had been all worse. Of the highest selections, solely TRACE (23) was all that useful.
Clearly some individuals had much more luck than me, as a result of regardless of an general talent rating of 97 I solely managed to scrape dwelling with a 5/6 right now.
My go-to comply with up after a single yellow T is at all times POINT, however right now it did not work all that nicely. Although it gave me a inexperienced O, the T stayed yellow and I may see I nonetheless had plenty of potential choices remaining.
WordleBot advised me afterwards that there have been 15 of them, and I discovered 12 of them myself: LOFTY, LOTTO, DOTTY, TOUGH, TOUCH, BOTCH, BOOTH, YOUTH, MOTTO, TOOTH, MOUTH and BOOTY. Those I seemingly missed had been COUTH, TODDY and HOTLY.
I figured I would must slender it down additional, so performed THUMB; this was designed to see if it was one of many OU phrases or not, and whether or not there was a TH on the finish. M and B, in the meantime, every featured in two or three different potential options.
WordleBot preferred it nicely sufficient, and rightly so: with the T and U turning inexperienced, and the H going yellow, I now had simply two to select from: TOUCH and TOUGH.
Sadly, there was no manner for me to know which it was. And right now, the luck was towards me. I performed TOUCH first, missed out, and needed to accept a disappointing 5/6.

Yesterday’s Wordle reply (recreation #639)
Yesterday’s Wordle reply (recreation #639) was… GLOVE.
We’re firmly in normal Wordle territory right here, with a solution that appears simple sufficient in most regards, however deceptively so. I do not see many individuals shedding their streaks right now, however I doubt we’ll have too many actually excessive scores both.
There’s one important motive for that: the V in place #4. V is the fifth least frequent letter within the recreation, forward of solely Q, Z, X and J, and is subsequently unlikely to be a letter most individuals play till they’re already a good manner into their guesses.
However the V apart, not most of the finest Wordle beginning phrases can have helped a lot right now, and that at all times brings the general common down. Because it occurs, SLATE, WordleBot’s favourite starter, carried out finest, narrowing down the choices to only 16. However not one of the others had been a lot assist, with the likes of CRANE (126), SLANT (64), TRACE (127) and STARE (106) all leaving issues large open.
I did not know that I had as many as 106 choices, however I knew there have been plenty of them. I subsequently determined instantly to overlook about scoring a 2/6 and to as a substitute embrace an additional letter quite than taking part in the already-green E that STARE had given me.
My selection was CLOUD, and WordleBot preferred it, awarding me 91 for talent whereas telling me that LINGO would have been higher. Honest sufficient, nevertheless it did cut back my choices from 106 to only 4, so I am not complaining! What’s extra, even when I had performed LINGO I would nonetheless have scored a 4/6, as a result of the 2 selections it left – GLOBE and GLOVE – had been the 2 I thought of anyway. Why? Properly, the opposite two – ELOPE and BLOKE – had been each previous Wordle solutions, and for as soon as I remembered them.
GLOBE vs GLOVE was a straight 50/50. I had no motive to decide on one over the opposite, as a result of each appeared like life like Wordle solutions. Finally, it was a coin toss – and right now I known as it incorrect. Nonetheless, I used to be by no means in any actual hazard and a 3rd 4/6 in a row is not a catastrophe.
