Wordle #1,232, measured

This section compares SNOOP'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

85/100

This score is a percentile, not an opinion. Under the site's fixed solver settings, SNOOP measured harder for the solver than about 85% of all 1,907 recorded answers to date. Its rating is tricky. It repeats O; the example solver route takes four turns.

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

CRANE left the fewest candidates: its first-guess feedback left 57 of the 2,374 words in the site's working answer pool. At the other end, AUDIO left 286 candidates, about 5 times as many. ADIEU and TRACE came back all gray. None of their letters appear in SNOOP. The vowel-heavy probes ADIEU and AUDIO revealed comparatively little here. Vowel coverage helps only when the answer's vowels are still in doubt.

First-guess feedback each opener would have received against SNOOP, and how many answer-pool words would still match it

CRANE CRANE 57

SLATE SLATE 58

RAISE RAISE 81

ADIEU ADIEU 165
TRACE TRACE 255
AUDIO AUDIO 286

“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.
