Wordle #1,362, measured
This section compares MANGO'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, MANGO measured harder for the solver than about 91% of all 1,906 recorded answers to date. Its rating is hard for the solver. 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
AUDIO left the fewest candidates: its first-guess feedback left 14 of the 2,374 words in the site's working answer pool. At the other end, ADIEU left 289 candidates, about 21 times as many.
| Opener | First-guess feedback | Answers still possible |
|---|---|---|
| AUDIO | AUDIO | 14 |
| CRANE | CRANE | 47 |
| TARSE | TARSE | 68 |
| SALET | SALET | 85 |

“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.
