Wordle #1,932, measured

This section compares PEEVE'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

89/100

This score is a percentile, not an opinion. Under the site's fixed solver settings, PEEVE measured harder for the solver than about 89% of all 1,951 recorded answers to date. Its rating is tricky. It repeats E; the example solver route takes four turns.

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 63 of the 2,384 words in the site's working answer pool. At the other end, ADIEU left 201 candidates, about 3 times as many. AUDIO came back all gray. None of its letters appear in PEEVE. The vowel-heavy probes ADIEU and AUDIO revealed comparatively little here. Vowel coverage helps only when the answer's vowels are still in doubt.

“Answers still possible” counts the words in the site's 2,384-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.
