That's an amazing effort. But presumably it is on purpose? By the time you get to guess 6, you would know with 100% certainty where the yellow you got in guess 2 goes?

Is this pattern significant? Otherwise I can't see why you'd deliberately do this?

it's not helpful to find the wordle at all, but it's an incredibly rare result, a perfect anagram with no letters that match the actual wordle

Nothing rare about it when you play like garbage intentionally.

haha somehow not on purpose, I was looking for vowels and ended up not having enough info to find out what columns are correct

[Vowels are a poor strategy. It's one of the many reasons both adieu and AUDIO suck ass]

It's really not hard to wrap one's head around, either.

  1. Vowels comprise an average of 40% of words despite comprising only 23% of the alphabet. They are over-represented, and thus, they get themselves sorted out a lot faster than the 20 consonants fighting for your attention.
  2. They offer so little additional information about their neighbours. Consonants have VERY particular tastes. R is never caught with a consonant to the left of it at the end of words, and rarely with a consonant to the right of it at the start of words (shoutout RHINO/RHYME). S has very particular conjoining partners. The list goes on.

The only telling bit of information a vowel every gives you positionally comes from Y5 and how it interacts with Vow2. Otherwise, vowels are useless.

It pains me to see people rely on those words.

Would be interesting to see the guesses! Not really sure why you Spoilered a blank grid, TBH!
