Wordle Discussion Daily Spoilers

It's a helluva guess, but I'm not sure I follow the strategy. If your goal was to remove the most common letters left (LNTR) there were several options that wouldn't use riskier P or C (also keep in mind D and G are 2 pt Scrabble tiles while P and C are 3 pointers). Hell, "later" clears 3 of them. "Navel" clears 2. You chose to clear one.

Didn't think of LATER. Did think of CATER. I'm not aware of commonality between letters like P, C, D & G. Those all seem about the same to me. B and F as well.

Ultimately, when I am looking at using A & E, I consider the most common placement in slots 3 and 5, not slots 2 and 4. So that's step one. Those vowels in those spots. Note this is important for I as well, since it can fit in slot 4 behind the A or in slot 3 with the E in slot 5. So vowel placement was #1. Then I picked consonants after. My mistake was thinking PLANE was used, I checked and it has not. PLATE had been used (it was also a better guess than PLACE).

One part bad luck, one part forgetting previously used words (as usual):

The assigned start word was great today. Was going with this or BRIEF. I think most of the words ended in F or D, so this would give me one of the two.

My frustration is enhanced by @uconn1999 using the start word I should've used today...

 

[iri10]

Meh. Early N would have helped me as well. And LEMUR on 3rd guess wasn't wonderful...

The assigned word was great today. Many in the group scored 2s. Three words left after the start.
