Doubly bogey on a b*stard word

I spent a diverting half an hour or so looking into how people are coding wordle bots. Lots have got down to an average of 3.41, I haven't been able to find/understand whether someone has actually proved that this is the optimal strategy but I would think its close.

I spent another 10 minutes or so going through tuffers last 100 scores posted on here. Amazingly, despite occasionally using what us mere mortals would consider a slightly less than optimal strategy of using starting words with repeated letters he has managed an average of 3.23.

In his defence, it could be he doesn't post the higher scores? That may explain his freakishly low average?

Should shut the trainee up a bit

Just in case that's not clear, In other words, taking the skill element out of the game and just looking at the luck, you could expect lSN's results about half the time and tuffers about 1 in every 5000 times.

Credit to tufters for doubling down like this, even after being so exposed.
