Wordle #1,031, measured

This section compares EQUIP's solver-difficulty percentile, first-guess results for ten familiar openers, and opt-in player reports. Each number identifies its dataset.

Solver difficulty, as a percentile

70/100

This score is a percentile, not an opinion. Under the site's fixed solver settings, EQUIP measured harder for the solver than about 70% of all 1,906 recorded answers to date. Its rating is tricky. The example solver route takes four turns; CRANE, SLATE and ADIEU leave a large group.

Solver pressure ranks the answer within the pool; it does not measure player performance. The opener table compares first-guess results, and the contributed ratings report player results.

CRANE, SLATE and ADIEU benchmark

ADIEU left the fewest candidates: its first-guess feedback left 7 of the 2,374 words in the site's working answer pool. At the other end, SALET left 172 candidates, about 25 times as many.

“Answers still possible” counts the words in the site's 2,374-word working answer pool whose feedback would match that opener exactly. This is pattern arithmetic, not a simulation. A smaller number means the opener left fewer possible answers after the first guess. It does not describe later turns.
