Wordle #1,336, measured

This section compares DITTY'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

55/100

This score is a percentile, not an opinion. Under the site's fixed solver settings, DITTY measured harder for the solver than about 55% of all 1,907 recorded answers to date. Its rating is middle of the pack. It repeats T; 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 26 of the 2,374 words in the site's working answer pool. At the other end, CRANE left 273 candidates, about 10 times as many. CRANE came back all gray. None of its letters appear in DITTY.

“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.
