Wordle: from slow guesses to fast deduction

Hi Wordlers!

I guess I’m hooked on Wordle. Not so much that I want my day’s head-scratching to last longer than my early morning cup of tea. I’ve a starter that moves from guessing towards deduction. It’s two words: ADIEU followed by STORY whatever.

It’s much faster. It’s surprising how often the first word I enter at step three is correct. I’m nearly always there in four. (Although I have got stuck in the dead-end alley of FOUND, BOUND, WOUND, HOUND, MOUND and POUND!) This formula works because so many words are eliminated after two steps. There’s less guessing and more deduction. You’ll get a feel for it.

Go well! Be wise! Drink tea! Wordle!
