Wordle #1,724, measured
This section compares HASTY'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, HASTY measured harder for the solver than about 57% 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 4-word _ASTY 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
SALET left the fewest candidates: its first-guess feedback left 6 of the 2,374 words in the site's working answer pool. At the other end, AUDIO left 442 candidates, about 74 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 |
|---|---|---|
| SALET | SALET | 6 |
| SLATE | SLATE | 6 |
| TARSE | TARSE | 7 |
| STARE | STARE | 10 |
| RAISE | RAISE | 20 |
| TRACE | TRACE | 54 |
| ARISE | ARISE | 63 |
| CRANE | CRANE | 141 |
| ADIEU | ADIEU | 289 |
| AUDIO | AUDIO | 442 |
“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.
