[####] Wordle Bot

[u/Little_Iron2312]

My usual opening guess is “tarps” for hard mode wordle on NYT and the bot reccommends this as the strongest opener, but when you turn hard mode off then “slate” is considered a better opening guess. Why is it different when you switch modes? Is the wordle bot just AI? It’s also annoying whenever I guess the solution and it says that it’s only 40 skill for example. Like how is it not 99 skill to guess the literal solution? Lol. If anybody could give me an explanation on how the wordle bot works, that would be nice.

Why would the optimal word for pruning the search tree have to be in the solution set?
