Word analysis

Every day I look at Wordle Bot to analyze my guessing game. You can check your Wordles with Wordle Bot right here.

I started with a very lucky guess. While I only got one yellow and one green box, the possible solutions were reduced to just 9, several of which I invented myself. In fact, many of the ones I thought of ended with USTY. Rusty, musty, sprightly, busty, gusty Etc. etc. I also came up with GUSTO and thought I would exclude the “G” in two words first. Luckily for me, I only had one word left at that point: Gusty for the win!
