I think optimizing for 3/6s is the way to go. When I have time, I’ll write a bot to figure out an optimal starting word.

I think my theory is really solid now. My next step to improve would be to write a bot that tries every starting word vs every puzzle solution and find the best strategy I could teach a human player.

I’ve been over on this thread on /r/wordle where I’m still a mod. Whenever someone mentions that they use a canned sequence of words at the start of every game, I look into my research and find a set that’s better in every way. It’s fun to bring it up every now and then. Just because you can make 5 words with 25 different letters (like WALTZ VIBEX FJORD NYMPH GUCKS) doesn’t make it a good idea.
