Another close call, but I think this was really the only option left at this point.

Wordle 1,314 6/6*

I failed at Wordle today. Will be interested to see what the board and NYTimes averages are today. I'm guessing north of 4. Already had a flurry of 5's, 6's and fails from various Wordle text buddies...

4.3 as of right now.

After my fourth guess, the Wordlebot told me there was only one remaining solution. I guessed something different which was accepted and the bot then said, “There was only one possible solution left — and this wasn’t it. (XXXXX is a valid guess, but it’s unlikely to be a solution based on what I’ve learned from playing Wordle.) But there’s still only one solution remaining. You should solve the puzzle on your next turn.”

How bizarre! My fifth guess was a bit of a flier and I was sort of expecting the app to shake it off, but it accepted it. The Wordlebot lied and then tried to rationalize it! Apparently the learning model of the Wordlebot is learning from Trump.

I get this all the time. Most obscure words lead to that message.

I used to alternate between LEAST and STARE, but STARE was the solution on a day I used LEAST. Now I use LEAST every day.

I like adieu because it knocks out 3 vowels.

My only 1-guesser was my starter word I'd used for a while - TRASH - but switched it up to a different one when that hit and I've used that one ever since. Maybe one day it'll hit again. Been using it for ~2 years now, so who knows.

According to the stats I have hit a 1 three times. But I only remember it happening once.

I keep trying new starting words, it bit me last week as my normal starting word would have had 4 hits, but the word I used had zero.

I actually reasoned out today's word (for a change).

Spoiler: Solution/Spoiler Steps

TRAIN - got the green "R"
PROBE - got the yellow "P" and the green "E"
All vowels were basically used up; a "U" didn't make sense for the remaining letters, and placing a "Y" anywhere in the middle didn't make sense, so needed to very likely re-use the "E"
CREPE - Boom

We have different starting words but that was my same rationale today as well. That and prioritizing Wheel of Fortune letters and trying to maximize words eliminated with each guess are my primary strategies.
