Scoredle doesn’t quite join in the fun; it tried a near-anagram of my second guess for its own, but substituting N for L meant it didn’t have the key middle letter to ease its third guess - so it makes a tap-in par. > > It looks like Scoredle’s list of possible words is sorted by fitness, which I just realized is a good way of evaluating the luck factor of a given guess. So, for example, my second guess today was 4/274, which means I picked the fourth best guess (per Scoredle) out of the 274 guesses it had. Maybe I’ll go back and see what my luck factors from past games was? Naw, but it’s something to look at going forward. ---
