It is not always luck. We are not playing black jack. Letters and words and known facts, order, make it not so much luck at all. I suppose if it comes down to something like either large or barge on line three...sure...fifty fifty.

Yer a tad fixated on what happens in casinos, or with cheats, methinks.

Usually more than 50-50 on the 3rd. Closer to 1 in 6+ - at least the roll of a dice.

And if you haven't eliminated all vowels and identified a key consonant and/or green-lit a letter, could be more like 20+.

Frank Gold Member Offline Australian Politics Posts: 44785 Gender:	Re: Wordle Reply #95 - Mar 31^st, 2022 at 11:26am Start with scare, which has the 3 most common consinants and 2 most common vowels. A lowly (ahem) strategy but works well.

Your shot 2 now has _O_ L _ (FOLLY, GOLLY, JOLLY, etc... all up nearly 60 possibilities), so 1 in 60 of jagging it in 2.

How would you narrow 60 to less than 6?

Except for jagging WOULD!!

Nope...I also know that the letter 'w' is there somewhere and that 'o' and 'l' are set correctly.

Now...tell me the odds.

Keep 'jagging' it! You're exceeding the probability of just getting lucky!

Where is the 'jag?'

Now...what are the odds, given the established facts which include that there is no 'u' and no 'd.'

Are there any English word ending in LW? And W was orange and wasn't correct in the first spot. So you effectively had placed _OWL_

Keep 'jagging' the first shot. Every jag beyond chance will decrease your credibility exponentially.
