Three today in Wordle. A nice easy one.
I didn't play it because the answer was so obvious

Played 14 and got it first go three times? Yeah, riiiiiiiiight.......lol I have no stats as it doesn't store them, coz of one of the browser addons I use.
5 for me today. Thought I'd been clever and nailed in in four, but nope!

11.Mar.2022. Bit of a struggle here, and got it in 5. On the 4th-to-5th line, I had 4 possible 1st letters so I could have easily failed today's word. Words chosen are in the spoiler tag:

My "outs" for the 1st letter on line 5 were B, M, P and W. I chose W and lucked out.

Yeah, it was fun while it lasted but I don't know if I'll bother doing it and the various offshoots every day unless I'm bored.
Same as yesterday for me

Yes, those stats are highly dubious, unless she has got ridiculously lucky with her first guesses.
On the balance of probability, she is probably cheating.

It's a bit of a meme now, in work we have a few numpties still posting their daily attempts and stats and announcing how easy it is..
Their averages used to be around 4.2 or so in the first 30 days, now they've been in competition with each other, everyone is a '2' or '3' with a '1' every couple of weeks.. and averages under 2.5..
As mentioned in a post I made a while back, the best and most efficient algorithms are not much under 3.5 average guesses across the entire dictionary of words and only just under 3 if they limit the dictionary to the selected choices Wordle pulls from.
So, it's almost laughable to see people so regularly getting it in '2' so regularly and almost never about '3'..
I had a discussion with one such individual that was a bit too vocal about anyone not getting it regularly under '3' isn't obviously intelligent enough.. The funny thing was, trying to explain how stupid that is considering even the best algorithms can't get close to that, he clearly didn't have the intelligence to understand or at least bring any argument to the table that shows he understands or to counter it.. just the usual "They'll never make a computer as intelligent as me".. which is true.. but I can show him a calculator that can comprehensively kick his ass..
What always makes me laugh is when you then fire up Wordguessr and I ask for a 'demonstration' of their skills.. they either baulk and run, or strangely start immediately on '4's and '5's and over 30 guesses might be lucky to average 4.5... then all the excuses come out..
Each to their own, but as much of a brain exercise Wordle is, finding effective proof of cheating is quite satisfying.. and it does make you pause for thought with some people, maybe it's a good test for a pathological liar.
