Wordle #813, measured

This section compares QUOTE'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

3/100

This score is a percentile, not an opinion. Under the site's fixed solver settings, QUOTE measured harder for the solver than about 3% of all 1,952 recorded answers to date. Its rating is easier for the solver. CRANE, SLATE and ADIEU leave about 59 possible answers; it has a 3-word QUOT_ 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

AUDIO left the fewest candidates: its first-guess feedback left 12 of the 2,384 words in the site's working answer pool. At the other end, CRANE left 106 candidates, about 9 times as many.

“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.
