Wordle #1,323, measured
This section compares RIVET'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
This score is a percentile, not an opinion. Under the site's fixed solver settings, RIVET measured harder for the solver than about 24% of all 1,906 recorded answers to date. Its rating is easier for the solver. CRANE, SLATE and ADIEU leave about 79.7 possible answers.
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 9 of the 2,374 words in the site's working answer pool. At the other end, AUDIO left 274 candidates, about 30 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.
| Opener | First-guess feedback | Answers still possible |
|---|---|---|
| RAISE | RAISE | 9 |
| SALET | SALET | 13 |
| TARSE | TARSE | 27 |
| TRACE | TRACE | 29 |
| STARE | STARE | 30 |
| ARISE | ARISE | 36 |
| ADIEU | ADIEU | 40 |
| SLATE | SLATE | 73 |
| CRANE | CRANE | 126 |
| AUDIO | AUDIO | 274 |
“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.
