Without a strategy, the chances of averaging between 3.5 and 3.7, relying mostly on chance, are low.

Of the games posted since game 1200 to date:

Aussie 3.66
JM      4.24

The difference seems to be uniform across multiple Wordle player groups - on average a sound strategy (1. elimination of most common letters up to 3 words, then (2) alphabetical elimination, and/or educated guess for double letter use, etc..) yields about a 0.5 average difference.

Some like to play Wordle in 'Lotto' mode - relying on luck. Others play for a 3.5 - 3.7 average over many games.

It's not a matter of right or wrong.

I asked you to piss off. Want me to make it official, creep?
