The answer word and timezone are used transiently to verify this page, then discarded. The receipt prevents duplicate submissions and lets this browser withdraw later; anyone with that token can withdraw, so keep browser-data exports private. Read the full privacy details.

How GEODE performs as a guess

GEODE is a possible answer, so it would solve about one game in 2,374 when every answer is treated as equally likely.

Played as an opener, it lands at least one colored tile in 74.5% of games, misses completely in 25.5%, and leaves about 232 possible answers on average.

In the previous complete opener benchmark, it ranks #9,347 of 14,855 openers, averaging 3.75 guesses in games solved within six turns.

First-turn measures

All four describe GEODE 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.

4.41 Entropy (bits)
232 Avg remaining
0.04% Exact match
90.2% Avg ruled out
Higher first-turn entropy than about 46% of evaluated openers
1.53 bits below the highest measured first-turn entropy (~5.95 bits)
