Wordle - no spoilers please

You have to guess the film based on a screenshot from it. You get up to six guesses. Usually the first shot is fairly obscure and they get a bit easier as you go.

Gotcha. I will check it out. Is it a single puzzle daily kind of thing, like Wordle?

Yes, there’s an archive for it too.

Based on some of the recent solutions I wondered if they were selecting them by hand and it turns out they have been recently.

Wordle gets more intentional

The game has an editor now.

Which sucks because the guy's original list tried to eliminate the eternal-guesses, words like stick, which could be stiff, stink, sting, stint, stile, etc. So you didn't just happen to be lucky to guess the right combo of letters. Now I see words like that all the time. It sucks.

Today's poeltl was really difficult.

I dislike when the word uses a letter twice but especially if it uses two letters twice. That might just be a stupid pet peeve but I still don't like it.

You should make that your motto, like "Eating peeps": You word radar makes this unfun. This is fun, innit? Do you have stats for this?

I had a 272 day streak going. Then one Saturday I was outside my normal routine and then when I logged in on Sunday I saw that my streak was gone. My heart sank.

My average number of guesses isn't all that good but I usually finish most days in less than 1 minute. I have played 765 times and have never failed to solve the puzzle. It was very disappointing to lose my streak but if I lose my 100% win percentage I might just stop playing because I'll be so sad.

Undefeated.

Average score is mediocre but I never lose,

That looks like pretty much every distribution of scores I've seen on this game. 1s and 2s are generally driven by chance. 3-5 is generally expected again with a degree of chance in there like did your 2nd guess happen to uncover 4 letters or none, etc. 6s are usually the "duh" moment for those times our brains just aren't making the connection.

I hate when I quickly get 4 of the 5 letters but there are 8 valid options for that last letter. Worst choice there is to just plug in an option one at a time. You have to make a word using multiple of the options and hope you either find it or eliminate enough to get it in time.

There are 6s that are not mistake-driven in my opinion.

with skilled players the %3s is driven by risk taking. My win is solving within 6 and risk takers take a shot at the 3. I’m more likely to eliminate letters with the third guess to make sure I don’t back myself into a corner. Many of my friend have a higher % of threes but a few Ls mixed in.
