Wordle #1,310, measured

This section compares ROWER'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

74/100

This score is a percentile, not an opinion. Under the site's fixed solver settings, ROWER measured harder for the solver than about 74% of all 1,907 recorded answers to date. Its rating is tricky. It repeats R; 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

RAISE left the fewest candidates: its first-guess feedback left 20 of the 2,374 words in the site's working answer pool. At the other end, AUDIO left 286 candidates, about 14 times as many. 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 ROWER, and how many answer-pool words would still match it
OpenerFirst-guess feedbackAnswers still possible
RAISE RAISE 20
ARISE ARISE 102
SALET SALET 108
TARSE TARSE 116
TRACE TRACE 118
STARE STARE 122
CRANE CRANE 126
ADIEU ADIEU 128
SLATE SLATE 170
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.
