Went with gut feeling. Figured burst was an option, wurst probably not. Everything else I could think of already used.

27 options
i don't have the bot, but i'll take your word for it. I do, however, have a list of what's been used, so I imagine a lot of those 27 options are already out of play.

The puzzle makers seem to have a fondness for words ending in y.
Ah, something i can procrastinate chores with... so far I count 103 words ending in y. This was puzzle 881, which gives us 11.7% of the total words used so far.

Going to wordfinder and filtering for 5 letter (Scrabble-approved) words ending in Y, there are 986 possibilities. Filtering for only 5 letter words gives us 9376 words.

986 / 9376 = 10.5%

You are correct, sir. Albeit not by much ;)

(please note: using wordfinder while actually playing Wordle is frowned upon)

Interesting! If I wasn’t so lazy, I would do the analysis for all these double letter solutions.

As of today, November 17, 2023, there are 2,309 possible solution words in Wordle. This is out of the approximately 13,000 five-letter words in the English language. The original number of solution words was 2,315, but six words were removed from the game's solutions in 2022 for being either offensive, outdated, or using non-US spelling.
