Re: Wordle

Beautiful wordling from the bot there, certainty in 4 with two unplaced letters, third guess was 160 level.
3 is a cheat again today.

Re: Wordle
Errr….
Wordle 466 3/6















Can I just say in my defence, it was the only word I could come up with the letters I had left available.
Which says more about my limited vocabulary.

Re: Wordle
Hmmmm.
Anyway, version one of my cheat detector is here (click main.py when it loads then run)
https://replit.com/@BD37/WordleCheatDetector#main.py
Method is to take the word entered for each and check against every available answer word to get the average number of words the guess would eliminate and then compares this to the actual number eliminated. This is then multiplied by the probability of making the final guess (1/ number of possible answers remaining).
This isn't actually the correct calculation for overall probability, that should be the chance of a word eliminating the number of answers it has rather than the ratio of the difference but I can't work out how to do that.
It's actually pretty much impossible to rate an individual game, StillSpikes starting word came up trumps the other day and left only 3 possible answers to guess from which makes him look like a massive cheat if you don't know he always uses the same word.
Regular scores of 5 or more are cheating (if I have the calculations right, which I'm not at all confident of)

Re: Wordle
My cheat score is Tuffers apparently.
It also reckoned my first guess left 1 possible word, but that isnt right as it took me three further guesses to get it right

Re: Wordle
Not you, amazingly LSN actually had it solved today after 1 guess (if he was smart enough to know all the possible answers and keep track of them). The other attempts were entirely superfluous.

I think more likely my code is f*cked, although I accept you were just lucky that should have you marked down as too lucky.
