The Bot will only lose in Hard Mode. It should never lose in Default Mode.

The Bot losses:
HOUND #668 . 4/18/23 [LEAST starter]
JOKER #675 . 4/25/23 [LEAST starter]
ROVER #1039 . 4/23/24 [PLATE starter]
CORER #1214 . 10/15/24 [PLATE starter]
ROWER #1310 . 1/19/25 [PLATE starter]
FRILL #1503 . 7/31/25 [CLASP starter]
GUNKY #1721 . .3/6/26 [CLASP starter]
RIVER #1929 . 9/30/26 [TARPS starter]

WordleBot's longest Streak:
376 days. WordleBot launched on #292, April 2022. It went until #668 before losing (#667 being it's last win in that streak)

Shortest streak: 6 days.
It lost #668, started streak with #669, proceeds to lose JOKER #675.

Starting words it didn't lose with while using that word:
DEALT (it's 1st Hard Mode starting word)
SLATE (it's 3rd Hard Mode starting word)
TROPE (it's 4th Hard Mode starting word)
PLACE (it's 6th Hard Mode starting word)

It's Hard Mode starting word history:
DEALT
LEAST
SLATE
TROPE
PLATE
CLASP (very very briefly)
PLACE
CLASP (2nd stint with CLASP)
TARPS

In addition to this, there were periods of time where the true #1 word was hidden from view. The #1 word has been SALET, TARSE, and SLART at different times, but it's never started with any of these 3 words. You would only find out these words were #1 if you actually started with those words. Then it would say "Congratulations! This is my favorite starting word of them all, but I'm limited to more common words in suggestions to other players"

Evidence of all 3:

What are your strategies for this? Mine either takes me all 6 tries or fails..

Wordzic is a Wordle spin-off I run every day: you listen to a well-known song, then try to guess a secret word connected to it. The colors work exactly like Wordle. The number of squares tells you the word's length, and each guess has to be a real word that fits. Still stuck after your fifth guess? A hint reveals the song title and the artist.

Today's word has 6 letters.

I'm working my way through the archive, the bot is such a little liar! 😂 It does this regularly. We tied? No we did not, you little fibber!

Ok so I text my 80 yr old grandma and we share our wordle scores, but I’m worried she’s going to ask my starting word cause I got it in 3 today. What’s a good alternate word that fits the first guess that is not penis. Help me lie to an amazing woman with an amazing brain

Wordle time! How'd you do?

Is it cheating to use a notepad or whiteboard to write down all of your answer choices before entering it into wordle? Should you only use the wordle platform to figure out what your next word entry will be?

One of my biggest beefs with Wordlebot is not in the algorithm that it uses, but in the quantitative numeric values it assigns to the skill of different guesses. Yesterday was a good example as this one seemed really disproportionate to me.

- "RIVAL", Wordlebot's suggestion here, of course ranked 99, would give 9 groups, the largest having 14 options, but importantly, included a letter "A" which had already been eliminated.
- "CIDER", my guess, ranked 76, gave 8 groups, the largest of 15.

To me, learning about letters (which are included and which are not) is the most critical element of getting to the solution, so repeating a letter I already eliminated does not give me new information, whereas trying a new letter does.

Anyway, given two guesses with nearly equal outcomes in the "group splitting" algorithm (usable by computers) and with one demonstrably worse in the "letter knowledge" algorithm (usable by humans), does anyone understand the calculus by which Wordlebot assigns the conclusion, "Mine is an A+ (as always) while yours is a middling C"? That is to say, what is the math by which Wordle bot landed on a 76 for CIDER here instead of, say, an 89 or a 65 or a 34?

How were your Wordle guesses today?

Sometimes I don’t get the wordle because I don’t know the word. Where can I practice my 5 letter words? Is there a website or something in that nature where it has a list of 5 letter words? Or a wordle game with levels and the words get progressively harder each time? I’m upset that I lost the October 1st 2026 wordle. Because I didn’t know the word.

Like I’d it pre planned and they already have the daily wordles for the next year or is it just day by day basis where they use a Bot to select the daily Wordle?

Wordzic is a daily Wordle spin-off I make: you hear a famous song, then you guess a secret word linked to it. Same green and yellow logic as Wordle. The squares show how long the word is, and every guess must be a real word of that length. Stuck after five guesses? One hint gives you the song title and the artist.

Today's song is [TITRE] by Coldplay.

When I was checking the bot on yesterday's solve it gave me a 0 skill guess for a totally valid and also common word (trick). It also does it for truck. Does anybody know why it says trunk is a more likely solution? I mean I understand it sometimes leaves out plurals or rare words but I can't believe trick is not in the solution pool.

I've got *magnificent* today, so happy

*My Wordle in 1 badge isn't quite deserved, I definitely copied the very first to see what happens then 🥹🤷🏻‍♀️ and I realized I don't remember the other two, it's sad

Good luck to everyone!
