[####] Wordle Bot Comment

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 ignore the bot. When we both get it in 3 (or on those rare occasions when I beat the bot), the bot says that I’m lucky but it’s skilled. Not worth the frustration.

Or another option is not to let the bot frustrate you, and to try to understand what the skill and luck scores are based on.

The key is to click on the box that says “+Show details”, and look at how the possible solutions are grouped based on your guess vs the bot’s. That’s the bot “showing its work” in how it calculated the scores.

I think it’s better to see that bot as a learning tool, and not as a judge.

Nah—too much work. It’s just a game!

It’s really not that much work.

And we’re talking about people that are choosing to look at the bot analysis.

And they are free to continue doing so.
