Hidden text.

tread is a strong opening guess. Unfortunately, today it was unlucky — 220 of the words in my dictionary could still be the solution.
Terrific choice. moile would have been one of my top picks.
Excellent choice — piney is exactly what I would’ve picked in this situation. You’ve narrowed it down to only two words: given or vixen.
Unfortunately, given wasn’t the right answer this time.

If it's any consolation, it seems to have rated you highly on Skill.

I once again got to a spot where there were exactly 2 possibilities, but this time I managed to guess the right one. What's weird, though, is that the bot said I should have gone the other way--it thought the other word had a 53% of being correct while mine only had 47%. But... on what grounds could the chances be anything other than 50/50 in this situation? The implication is that some valid words have higher probabilities of being chosen in the first place, but I don't think that's true? Unless the 47% word has been used in the past more recently than the 53% one, and the selection algorithm penalizes it for that, and the bot knows all those things.

I would not believe the bot/would not follow it's recommendations. I have no idea what it bases it's recommendations on. Wordle has not reused words, yet.

Jude & V: So much June fun!

I once again begin the day with a reminder that mad skillz just barely let you squeak by when you have rotten luck.
