How OGEED performs as a guess

Wordle accepts OGEED 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 74.5% of games, misses completely in 25.5%, and leaves about 265 possible answers on average.

In the previous complete opener benchmark, it ranks #10,806 of 14,855 openers, averaging 3.78 guesses in games solved within six turns.

First-turn measures

All four describe OGEED 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.

4.13 Entropy (bits)
265 Avg remaining
0.0% Exact match
88.8% Avg ruled out
Higher first-turn entropy than about 29% of evaluated openers
1.81 bits below the highest measured first-turn entropy (~5.95 bits)

As an opening guess: previous benchmark

0.71 Spread of game lengths
#10,806 Rank among openers
Opening with OGEED left 1 of the snapshot's answers unsolved after six guesses. A spread of 0.71 means those games clustered within about 0.71 of a guess of the 3.78 average. It ranks #10,806 of 14,855 openers by average guesses in games solved within six.

Optimal play

Opening with OGEED, a proven-optimal strategy averages 3.79 guesses and ranks #10,189 of 14,855 legal openers. The best proven opener, TARSE, averages 3.55.

No guaranteed hard-mode solve In hard mode, no strategy that opens with OGEED can guarantee a solve within six guesses.

Our six-turn simulation says 3.78, at or below the proven-optimal 3.79, 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.
