Today, the 11th of August 2024, is game 1149 of NYT Wordle. I try to solve this daily and have completed 318 of these over the last couple of years. So here is my Wordle journey for today, which includes my guesses, thought process, some statistics, and, of course, the ANSWER!
I always start my Wordle with 'Trace'. Let's see what that led to:
After the first guess:
⬛⬛⬛🟨🟩
Not a bad start. Let's analyze this by placing 'C' at various positions
🅒✖✖✖🅔
Close
Clone
Clove
Chose (maybe?)
Chime
✖🅒✖✖🅔
Scope
Scone
Scene
✖✖🅒✖🅔
Uncle
The above list is obviously not exhaustive, but these are some of the immediate solutions I could think of. The next task is to analyze which guess would eliminate most of these. In order to do that, the word should definitely contain 'S', 'L', 'O', and should ideally have 'N' and 'C'. So I will try and guess 'Clons', even though I have no idea whether that's a real word.
After the second guess:
🟨⬛🟩🟩🟨
Well, I think I have almost solved this one. No, not almost. There is only one solution left. 'Scone' it is!
After the third guess:
🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩
Great! After solving so many Wordles, I feel that the second guess is the most crucial one, unless we get all blacks in our first guess. In any case, Wordlebot has rated my skill 99/99, which is always great to see.
I think this was one of the easiest games in a while. Helped me get my 199th 3/6, and my 5th in the last 5 games.
See you tomorrow!
