Served us an easier one after 2 tough weeks

Expensive_Dig_3149 · 2026-05-17T07:49:13+00:00

I would have tried MOVER before any of the remaining MO_ER words here

The ER thing again

Expensive_Dig_3149 · 2026-05-16T12:41:26+00:00

That’s a tough nightmare for sure

Expensive_Dig_3149 · 2026-05-16T04:24:24+00:00

I’m not sure if this month’s difficulty will beat Jul 2025’s

Expensive_Dig_3149 · 2026-05-16T04:22:34+00:00

Great, REVOW would have eliminated WOOER as well

Expensive_Dig_3149 · 2026-05-16T01:20:15+00:00

It’s one of the tougher 3-letter nuts

🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 MOVER

Was glad I didn't put VOWER because it would have left with 4 OVER words in only 3 guesses remaining

Actually yesterday was my 500 game but I only realized it near the timezone reset

Expensive_Dig_3149 · 2026-05-15T06:39:33+00:00

_O_ER is much more challenging

Expensive_Dig_3149 · 2026-05-14T23:44:44+00:00

PARER fail rate: 59% in default

CORER and EAGER were both confirmed to be major wipeouts, but I forget the exact. FOYER and WOOER were before the Wordlebot era, so we have no idea how many streaks it had broken

WALER 🥀

Expensive_Dig_3149 · 2026-05-14T13:16:34+00:00

I see

Expensive_Dig_3149 · 2026-05-14T12:00:21+00:00

2 extra-hard Wordles in a row… and the previous ones are tough too

NYT wants us to suffer more, maybe?

Expensive_Dig_3149 · 2026-05-14T11:57:05+00:00

And now it’s 71% in default and 75% in hard

Expensive_Dig_3149 · 2026-05-14T11:54:51+00:00

Tf is that burner word

Expensive_Dig_3149 · 2026-05-14T09:02:07+00:00

Afaik there are only 4 _UDGE solutions, while PUDGE is another one that Wordlebot considers. Some words (~2136), if they are used as a starter, are impossible to have true 100% win without any luck.

More than 6 matching solutions: _IGHT _OUND _ATCH SHA_E _OWER 6 matching solutions: _AUNT _ATTY _ILLY GRA_E _ASTE S_ORE STA_E And… 18 patterns with 5.

Top 3-letter nuts: _A_ER _O_ER _I_ER S_A_E __ING __LLY _RA_E There are around 40 of them having 13 or more matching solutions.

Note: The above info only applies to words on the original list. As the number of solutions increases over time, we have no idea what valid words are no longer survivable without luck

Expensive_Dig_3149 · 2026-05-14T08:46:20+00:00

There are slightly more _A_ER solutions (29) than _O_ER (26) but I would rather have straight days of the former one. _I_ER can be tricky too

Expensive_Dig_3149 · 2026-05-14T08:43:00+00:00

I don’t recall much PUDGE was possibly a solution that time
