It had to be one or the other. It was the other.

This is the first puzzle I have seen in which Wordle displayed the colors wrong. The 2nd guess should have had 5 yellow letters. Instead the middle letter was colored black, even though that letter was contained in the solution. That letter was colored yellow in my first guess, which I expected was the correct coloring.

After the 2nd guess, 2 possible solutions remained. I chose the wrong one, possibly due to a bias from this website. My incorrect guess was a word that is regularly the topic of discussions on this forum.

That is interesting. And, would have been frustrating.

@Data10 for your second guess did you use the middle letter twice in your second guess, in which case if both were wrong you would only get one yellow?

Feeling great here - haven’t had a two in a long time. My random first word definitely helped!

Same first word gave me a decent result for Quordle too.

Octordle was back to normal - guess that means I shouldn’t go out and get a lottery ticket…

I find it so interesting to see how different everyone’s patterns are. With mine I did the first word that came to mind for guess 3, but it ended up being what I suspect was the only other possibility.

@tx5athome That explains it. Thanks.

My skill rating was lower than usual, almost entirely due to my 3rd guess. Wordlebot gave me a 77 skill on the 3rd guess with the message:

“Your guess was guaranteed to eliminate every possible solution but one. But it would have been better to guess a potential solution here. (##### couldn’t solve the puzzle based on what was learned in the previous guesses.)”

I think this is a fair assessment. I had forgotten that I played one of the letters from my 2nd guess, so I thought I had ~12 solutions remaining after 2nd guess, when according to Wordlebot, I only had 4. I believe my 3rd guess would have been near optimal if I had previously played only the letters I remembered. Maybe I’d make fewer careless errors like this, if I played in the morning, rather than after midnight.
