Wordle is a relatively new word game that has become very popular over the past few months. You can play the game on the New York Times website at https://www.nytimes.com/games/wordle/.
But how should play Wordle to maximize your chances of winning?
I have decided to address this challenge by describing a strategy for maximizing your chances of guessing Wordle’s target word in at most 3 tries.
See Wordle Winning Strategy for more details.
I know that this is a bit lighter topic than the others that I have tackled on this website. However, since the strategy provided uses probability theory, I decided that it would be relevant to the Real Statistics website. And, anyway, it can be fun too.
In the next few days, I will also issue a new release of the Real Statistics Resource Pack, Rel 8.2, that provides support for this strategy using Excel.
