Wordle accepts JITTY 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 60.5% of games, misses completely in 39.5%, and leaves about 473 possible answers on average.
In the previous complete opener benchmark, it ranks #14,414 of 14,855 openers, averaging 3.94 guesses in games solved within six turns.
