Wordle #784, measured
This section compares QUICK'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, QUICK measured harder for the solver than about 70% of all 1,906 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
ADIEU left the fewest candidates: its first-guess feedback left 13 of the 2,374 words in the site's working answer pool. At the other end, TARSE left 235 candidates, about 18 times as many. SALET, SLATE, STARE and TARSE came back all gray. None of their letters appear in QUICK.
| Opener | First-guess feedback | Answers still possible |
|---|---|---|
| ADIEU | ADIEU | 13 |
| AUDIO | AUDIO | 16 |
| TRACE | TRACE | 39 |
| ARISE | ARISE | 51 |

“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.
