Wordle #677, measured

This section compares LOGIC'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

66/100

This score is a percentile, not an opinion. Under the site's fixed solver settings, LOGIC measured harder for the solver than about 66% of all 1,907 recorded answers to date. Its rating is tricky. 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 24 of the 2,374 words in the site's working answer pool. At the other end, TARSE left 235 candidates, about 10 times as many. STARE and TARSE came back all gray. None of their letters appear in LOGIC.

First-guess feedback each opener would have received against LOGIC, and how many answer-pool words would still match it
OpenerFirst-guess feedbackAnswers still possible
AUDIO AUDIO 24
TRACE TRACE 50
CRANE CRANE 56
SLATE SLATE 88
SALET SALET 100
ARISE ARISE 113
RAISE RAISE 113
ADIEU ADIEU 119
STARE STARE 235
TARSE TARSE 235

“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.
