Baron was a strong guess, nice job

I don’t really understand how to make strong guesses, or how gradle grades my guesses. Do you always have that in mind, to make a strong guess?

Gradle has a lot of explanations of their grading, including all of their formulas (which I don’t understand 😁). Their simple explanation is a good grade “[reduces] the list of possible words as much as possible”.

Your second to last guess was good because it revealed a lot of the answer letters and reduced the number of remaining words.

In my guesses I try to eliminate as many letters as possible while also picking up letters I think are in the answer.

Another thing I sometimes keep in mind is the “Pillars of Doom” concept in hard mode – getting 3 or 4 greens but still a lot of remaining guesses. I’m hard mode I have to keep greens where they are.

Let’s say I guessed “GRANT” and I got this, _ _ A N T ⬜⬜🟩🟩🟩

Good that I got greens, but now I can only guess two new letters at a time. The answer would be SLANT or CHANT or PLANT, etc., so I might run out of guesses.

Some people spend a lot of time thinking about strategies and creating tools like Gradle and wordletools.azurewebsites.net (which I used to figure out good starter words).

I just try to have fun, not guess anything that was already an answer, and do my best to try to get the answer in 3 guesses.
