I use "meany"Haha! Good cartoon Seadog! I've kinda gotten used to American now.We've had 'color', 'harbor' and all sorts of other horrible spellings. Adieu was on the list of acceptable words with the old regime. I certainly won't be signing up for the NYT if they start charging though. The question is, what is your favourite (not favorite!) word to start with? At the moment mine is 'Arise' often followed by 'Mount'.
Then "voids"

I had a go a few weeks ago, immediately started to think about the "best" strategy, common letters, uncommon letters, dividing the search space in two, etc. I even copied the list of possible guesses and answers from the code and started writing crappy Matlab (Octave) code to test ideas. The answer list is ordered by the way so I accidently spoiled the next few day's words for myself. Two days later, Grant Sanderson posted this video, going though all the things I'd been thinking about, but much better executed.
That answered all the questions I had, I'm not actually interested in playing the game (Which has nothing to do with the fact than I'm rubbish at it
), and I haven't thought about it since.

It is, I can't be bothered to watch that whole video again but I think he determines the best "average" score is a little over 3, you're bound to get 4 sometimes even playing perfectly.

dam quordle make my brain hurt
It does that for me too. Give me a nice morning coffee and a quick (ish) Wordle. Quordle should be no harder in theory but somehow it is awkward and less satisfying to me.

Try this:
semantle.novalis.org
Basically, find a word by being scored how closely other words are used in the same context.
As an example: "man" is closer to "horse" than it is to "humanity".
It usually takes me around 100-150 guesses...

It always has been hasn't it? Originally made by a New York programmer wasn't it?

Yes. The programmer is Welsh but lives in Brooklyn, NY. The word list has been American from the start, but it used to be on a .co.uk domain so a lot of people (myself included) assumed it would have a more civilised word list.

Mr. Wardle, who is British developed the programme. His intention was that it should always be free to use. Yeah right, until someone offered a load of money

Took me 4 goes today but I did manage to get it in 3 yesterday. Depends on a bit of luck too, before my third guess yesterday I already had the middle three letters and in the correct order.
