Wordle #1,548, measured
This section compares NOISY'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, NOISY measured harder for the solver than about 55% of all 1,907 recorded answers to date. Its rating is middle of the pack. The example solver route takes four turns; CRANE, SLATE and ADIEU leave about 68.3 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
ARISE 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, TRACE left 255 candidates, about 28 times as many. TRACE came back all gray. None of its letters appear in NOISY.
| Opener | First-guess feedback | Answers still possible |
|---|---|---|
| ARISE | ARISE | 9 |
| RAISE | RAISE | 9 |
| TARSE | TARSE | 22 |
| AUDIO | AUDIO | 33 |
| STARE | STARE | 39 |
| SALET | SALET | 43 |
| SLATE | SLATE | 43 |

| ADIEU | ADIEU | 105 |
| TRACE | TRACE | 255 |
“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.
