How MOPPY performs as a guess

Wordle accepts MOPPY 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 57.5% of games, misses completely in 42.5%, and leaves about 505 possible answers on average.

In the previous complete opener benchmark, it ranks #13,562 of 14,855 openers, averaging 3.87 guesses in games solved within six turns.

First-turn measures

All four describe MOPPY 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.

3.36 Entropy (bits)
505 Avg remaining
0.0% Exact match
78.7% Avg ruled out
Higher first-turn entropy than about 5% of evaluated openers
2.59 bits below the highest measured first-turn entropy (~5.95 bits)

As an opening guess: previous benchmark

0.73 Spread of game lengths
#13,562 Rank among openers
Opening with MOPPY left 1 of the snapshot's answers unsolved after six guesses. A spread of 0.73 means those games clustered within about 0.73 of a guess of the 3.87 average. It ranks #13,562 of 14,855 openers by average guesses in games solved within six.

Optimal play

Opening with MOPPY, a proven-optimal strategy averages 3.88 guesses and ranks #13,365 of 14,855 legal openers. The best proven opener, TARSE, averages 3.55.

In hard mode it averages 4.03 guesses at best and is rank #6,556 of the 7,453 openers that can still guarantee a solve within six guesses.

Our six-turn simulation says 3.87, at or below the proven-optimal 3.88, because the two figures score different answer lists.

These figures come from exhaustive game-tree search and are exact for the NYT lists of July 2023 (3,158 answers). They do not use the site's working answer pool.
