Sigh.Scoredle makes a methodical bogey, though it seems to go for a bogus word on par rather than the only nonbogus word left. From its own start, Scoredle dives into the trap on 3 and pulls out a double-bogey win. ---

Does Scoredle have a bias that serves as a replacement for the human reactions β€œthat’s a bogus word” or β€œWordle would never use that”? Like it maybe has fed some billions of words of some text in and counted how common each word is as they are used by actual humans? Or a β€˜raciness’ rating so when it comes down to the end guesses, it just downgrades it’s chances of trying β€˜prick’ over β€˜trick’? ---
