Alright guys come together to vote on a word for the wordle! At the end of each day, the word with the most votes will be submitted and put for guessing! Can you get past the UNBEATABLE WORDLE?!?!

Wordle- A word puzzle in which you attempt to guess a five letter word in 6 tries. Letters that are yellow are in the word but not the right place, while green letters are in the right place as well.

Vish forgot to update this part so 2b did it for him.

Words so far- TOUGH, SABJI

Letters and their statuses:

1. T O U G H

2. S A  B J  I

AUDIO is my vote

Erm, actually, AUDIO isn't a good starting word, based on this study, as its copious quantities of vowels make their individual positions dificult to pin down. Therefore, a simpler and more spread out opening, like AFTER PINKS CLOUD and TOUGH CREAM FLIPS are both much better openings to play.

also I have a feeling the answer is IMSHI, QUEUE, XYLYL, BORAX, JAZZY, AFLAJ, or QAIDS

Erm erm actually, it is more dependent on how and what you are trying to achieve. AFTER PINKS CLOUD is much better to pin down harder and complex words, while AUDIO TYERS is better for the least amount of guesses.

See, due to the lack of a credible source, your claim is very transparant and does not at all create a successful rebuttal. Additionally, Vish mentions that this wordle is hard to solve, thus your statement actually supports my claim of using an opening that can easily pin down rare words. (seriously, I got UVOLA with this opening). And to add onto that, our goal is not to get it right in the least number of guesses; we are simply trying to get it right. Thus, an opening pinning down rare words suits the puzzle much more effectively.

well I got:

knoll

atoll

piney

and TRYST

with AUDIO & TYERS opening.

Avatar of TimeVeteran

and yes, i did get TRYST like actually that was only because of TYERS

Avatar of 2bHNST

wait hold up tyers is a word.

I mean I know QAIDS and **ITCH were legal words but dude this is another level.

Also Y is pretty rare so it's not that efficient.

-

My next argument: Letter count.

You get

oh wait we can't compare these because they have different numbers of words

-

can we just agree on TOUGH CREAM FLIPS and call it a day.
