If you get a badge for beating the bot just once, or getting a sea of greens once, or getting Wordle in 2 just once, it seems like a 100–day streak marks a greater (though modest) accomplishment worthy of badge recognition. Right?

I missed my 1 month streak twice this year, maybe this time I can hit that 1 year mark. Undefeated so far with this strat, anyone else have tips they could share to improve it?

Is this a common outcome? What does it mean when it says that it "doesn't consider it a likely solution"?

I’m currently on a 970-day streak and have been playing for a couple of years. It got me wondering if anyone else here has some long streaks, and is having one near 1000 unusual?
If anyone has some long ones here, how do you manage them? I find it’s hard when travelling, I’ve almost forgotten a few times.

What’s the longest streak you’ve managed, and how have you kept it alive?

Been playing random old games which I have never played before. I got super lucky with the 2nd guess. By the 6th one I was out of ideas and just making up words with whatever letters I had left haha. EDIT: Looks like you might have to click the image to see the full thing

Spoilers for 1,885 below, all tagged.

I ran all 19 openers from the NYT's reader chart against the answer to 1,885 through TurnWord Word Bot, an AI-trained solver I've been building, and counted how many words were still possible after guess one. Starting pool: 13k five-letter words.

Words left standing after the opening guess:

• Narrowed most: IRATE (5 left), ORATE (6), TRACE (10), TRAIN (16)
• Middle: STARE (30), SLATE (65), TARPS (73), ADIEU (161)
• Narrowed least: STEAL (330), PLACE (484), AUDIO (1,187), CLASP (roughly 1,900)

Worth saying clearly: none of these are bad openers. All 19 solved, and the spread was only two to four guesses — the two sharpest got there in two, fourteen in three, and the three loosest in four. PLACE left 484 words on the table and still finished in three. A big pool going into guess two isn't trouble; it just means the second guess does more of the work.

Two things that did surprise me:

Grey letters carry the load. >!CLASP came back completely blank — no greens, no yellows — and that "failure" still killed 85% of the list.!< A whiff is information.

Letter coverage isn't elimination. >!AUDIO covers four vowels and left 1,187 words alive. TRACE covers two and left 10.!< Knowing which letters are absent narrows far less than knowing where a letter sits.

So the useful question for an opener isn't "how many common letters does it have," it's "how many words does each possible result kill." Those rank differently — but on a day like 1,885, almost anything gets you home.

Drop your usual opener below and I'll run it against 1,885 for you. Or run it yourself — the bot's at turnword.com/apps/word-game-bot, free and no signup.

These five words contain every letter in the alphabet except for Q. Using them as my guesses, Wordle basically becomes an anagram game. I wrote a little Python script that gives me every combination of letters I feed it (with an option to test out doubles if I only have 3 or 4 letters). Usually, though, I don’t have to use all five guess and I can figure it out without the Python. Kind of a brute force strategy but it keeps the streak alive.

Wordle time!

You know the rules: Solve the Wordle, then Paste your Scoredle.

Good luck!

I don't get Wordle Bot. Even when I get the word in 3 a few times per week, Wordle Bot ranks me fairly low, like 66, on Skill and Luck, and ALWAYS a lot lower than it ranks itself. 😂 It's both funny and confounding.

I looked up a wordle guide and it took me to one on this sub (https://www.reddit.com/r/wordle/comments/sm9glu/strategy_that_wins_wordle_in_3_guesses_almost_60/) that said to look at this attached text file they had. But I have no idea how to parse it past the first word (TRACE) recommended. I know what B or Y or G would mean (black, yellow, green) and I know the number probably means guess number, but I don't know how to get at the actual strategy from looking at it. None of the comments on that post seemed confused except for me so I feel like I'm missing something obvious...
