Solving Wordle in three tries with scrabblecheat.com

Linguistics is my favorite way to play Wordle. I put a chart showing the frequency of each letter in each position of the words. The chance of the letter a being the third letter is high.

My AI now says Louie is the best linguistic word to start with. The second word is even more important. I wanted an R but it didn't really fit to good so I went with uncommon letters like N and P and K in SPANK to try to strike gold. I had nailed L and E already so S and R were likely but so were uncommon letters. I settled for SPANK and nailed the SPA and then the word had to be LAPSE.

I don't try for the Wordle word in two. I try for it in three tries. It is definitely possible to get 3.5 or 3.6 rating with linguistics. I know a Y could be at the end of the word or maybe there is just one vowel like SPENT but with the first word saying L is the first letter and E is the last letter the chart shows Y is probably not in the word since it will be the last letter 90% of the time. That is impossible here. So I keep narrowing down the word.

So what words start with an L and what letters are the most common. I could just put into the boxes L as first and E as last and hit Show Words and study the possible words. There will always be luck involved but you can minimize the luck.

My AI proved vowels give the best data/information. I will stick with that until I see a better pattern discovered.
