Wordle-Solver – solves 99.7% of common five-letter English words
I&#x27;ve settled on the following word list to determine if 20 of 26 characters are present within 4 guesses:<p><pre><code>  thank
  fuels
  crowd
  gimpy
</code></pre>
If there are fewer than 5 letters present, &quot;bevvy&quot; will eliminate another two (&#x27;b&#x27; and &#x27;v&#x27;), leaving j, q, x, and z as the remaining possible characters.  These occur rarely (though &quot;pizza&quot;, &quot;bijou&quot;, and &quot;vixen&quot; can be challenging targets.  More usually, it&#x27;s words with either doubled characters, such as &quot;onion&quot; or &quot;lalai&quot;, or those which have viable anagrams (&quot;spams&quot; and &quot;spasm&quot;, &quot;donor&quot; and &quot;rondo&quot;) that will throw me.<p>Another set I use is &quot;slant&quot;, &quot;prick&quot;, and &quot;budge&quot;, with coices from &quot;comfy&quot;, &quot;whiff&quot;, and &quot;vixen&quot; depending on what the initial results were.  I&#x27;m finding this less successful than my first set.<p>And for those who enjoy the hunt, yes, this does make the challenge quite mechanical.
