Wordle #1,532, measured

This section compares GRAFT'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

43/100

This score is a percentile, not an opinion. Under the site's fixed solver settings, GRAFT measured harder for the solver than about 43% of all 1,907 recorded answers to date. Its rating is middle of the pack. CRANE, SLATE and ADIEU leave a large group; it has a 3-word _RAFT family.

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

TRACE left the fewest candidates: its first-guess feedback left 4 of the 2,374 words in the site's working answer pool. At the other end, AUDIO left 442 candidates, about 110 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 GRAFT, and how many answer-pool words would still match it

“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.
