I've a working theory that if you play where your next guess always uses the letters you know are in the Wordle and never has letters you know are not, then you should be able to guess the word in 5 guesses or less. If not, the word probably isn't in your vocabulary, or it's a very obscure word.
Edit: after playing today's Wordle, I amend my theory: or the Wordle is one in which there are more than 4 possible words with four letters all the same. Example: match, batch, catch, watch, patch, hatch, latch.
If you think 'goto' is evil, try writing an Assembly program without JMP.

I assume with 2315 words all letters are included (speculation). But maybe frequency could help.
Anyway, why not only treat(5) it as a game to train(5) the brain(5)?

I feel they should modify the rules such that if more than 6 different words have the same 4 common letters at the same locations, they should make you win if you guess any one of those different words.

So years ago, I was playing Ninja Gaidan on the PS3 and I got stuck at the boss of level 4.
He just ruined me. RUINED me every time, until I finally put the game down for months.
I fired it up one time to show a friend just how difficult the game was. I had saved it at the boss fight.
So this time, months later I had fired the game up and I proceeded to make it look easy. I destroyed that poor boss.
It made me look silly to my friend. I had just gotten finished telling him how difficult this was, and then here I am, like Bruce Muhammed Lee Ali just kicking the snot out of the game.
Anyway, I'm getting to a point.
I had about given up on getting the cantankerous RA8875 driver to work using my new decoupled SPI bus framework under Arduino.
Finally, I hacked it. I basically scraped the bus for the information I needed to do the bus code's job for it, because could not get the RA8875 to work with my new optimized bus code. It failed on the first register read. It did what I needed to do so I called it good and shelved it for quite awhile as one of the many things "i'd get to".
Today, after finishing the documentation reboot for GFX and getting my DNS records propagated for honeythecodewitch.com I was resting on my laurels. But I needed something to do, and I had stuck a pin in this problem from before.
I fired up my IDE. Wrote this code, which compiled almost the first time (forgot a semicolon), and then ran successfully the first time.
It spits 117 to the serial port, which is code for victory - a successful read of register zero. I am elated. Now I can crank out the code for the new rendition of this driver, cleaner, hopefully faster, and less buggy.
#include <Arduino.h>
#include <tft_io.hpp>
using namespace arduino;
using bus_t = tft_spi_ex<VSPI, 5, 23, 19, 18, SPI_MODE0>;
void sendx(uint8_t x, uint8_t value) {
bus_t::cs_low();
bus_t::begin_transaction();
bus_t::begin_write();
bus_t::write_raw8(x);
bus_t::write_raw8(value);
bus_t::end_transaction();
bus_t::end_write();
bus_t::cs_high();
}
uint8_t recvx(uint8_t x) {
bus_t::cs_low();
bus_t::begin_transaction();
bus_t::begin_write();
bus_t::write_raw8(x);
bus_t::end_write();
bus_t::begin_read();
uint8_t result = bus_t::read_raw8();
bus_t::end_read();
bus_t::end_transaction();
bus_t::cs_high();
return result;
}
inline void send_command(uint8_t value) {
static const uint8_t RA8875_CMDWRITE = 0x80;
sendx(RA8875_CMDWRITE, value);
}
inline void send_data(uint8_t value) {
static const uint8_t RA8875_DATAWRITE = 0x00;
sendx(RA8875_DATAWRITE, value);
}
inline uint8_t recv_data() {
static const uint8_t RA8875_DATAREAD = 0x40;
return recvx(RA8875_DATAREAD);
}
inline uint8_t recv_command() {
static const uint8_t RA8875_CMDREAD = 0xC0;
return recvx(RA8875_CMDREAD);
}
uint8_t reg(uint8_t reg) {
send_command(reg);
return recv_data();
}
void setup() {
Serial.begin(115200);
pinMode(4, OUTPUT);
digitalWrite(15, LOW);
delay(100);
digitalWrite(15, HIGH);
delay(100);
bus_t::initialize();
bus_t::set_speed_multiplier(1/20.0);
bus_t::begin_initialization();
uint8_t result = reg(0);
Serial.println(result);
bus_t::end_initialization();
bus_t::set_speed_multiplier(1);
}
To err is human. Fortune favors the monsters.

My wife and I have been married almost 25 years, dated for 4 before that. So, together for almost 30.
We don't talk about each others jobs or how our day went; we have not done this for 20+ years or so. Works like a charm.
Her job bores me to tears. My job bores her to tears. Simples.

I get all excited about something I'm doing and attempt to tell my SO and she tires to act all enthused but about 1/2 way through I realize there's a deer-in-the-headlight look in her eyes and I just quit and say sorry.

The only member of my family who ever 'got' what I do was my Dad who spent 37 years in telecommunications. The rest, including herself, just think that I play around on the computer all day.
When they ask if I'm working this week, they are referring to a Saturday job that I've had for over 12 years.
