How ANDRO performs as a guess

Wordle accepts ANDRO as a guess, but the solver does not list it as a possible answer.

Played as an opener, it lands at least one colored tile in 86.5% of games, misses completely in 13.5%, and leaves about 140 possible answers on average.

In the previous complete opener benchmark, it ranks #1,172 of 14,855 openers, averaging 3.60 guesses in games solved within six turns.

First-turn measures

All four describe ANDRO used as an opening guess. Entropy is the same idea as “avg ruled out” on a log scale: a higher number means the guess splits the possible answers into more, smaller groups.

4.96 Entropy (bits)
140 Avg remaining
0.0% Exact match
94.1% Avg ruled out
Higher first-turn entropy than about 82% of evaluated openers
0.99 bits below the highest measured first-turn entropy (~5.95 bits)
