Olliolli2 demo2/26/2023 ![]() This week’s Nintendo Download includes the following featured content: See the full list below, and also check out Nintendo’s updated Game Store list, here. On the face of it, this is another straightforward Wordle without any real complications.Just in time for Valentine’s Day, Nintendo and other eShop publishers are showing quite a lot of love for Nintendo Switch players.Īs announced yesterday during the Nintendo Direct broadcast, surprises releases of Tetris 99 and Final Fantasy IX are now available to download, along with the usual large batch of new titles across many genres. ![]() WordleBot says people are solving it in an average of 3.7 guesses, which is below even yesterday's 3.9, and there's no sign of 'Wordle 418 X' trending on Twitter. That said, the word itself is not necessarily the most well known, ranking at 10,973rd in Word and Phrase Info (opens in new tab)'s list of the most frequently used English words. As I show in my analysis of every Wordle answer, four of these letters are once again in the top 10 most common letters in the game overall.įor those of you who don't know it, it means either to gather something bit by bit, particularly grain, or to discover something slowly.Īssuming you do know it, there's not a lot to beware of here. In fact, they're even more common here: E ranks first, A ranks second, L sixth and N ninth. G is only 17th overall, but jumps up to eighth when starting an answer. Too-many-options is potentially a factor here, depending on which of the best Wordle start words you use, and how your game develops from there. But you'd need a lot of bad luck to actually lose your streak as a result of that, because it shouldn't be too difficult to narrow it down even if you're caught in an -LEA- or -EAN trap. The other notable thing about today's game is how similar it is to Saturday's ALIEN (game #413). ![]() ![]() There's only one letter different from that one, although the A and E are also in different places, and my game proceeded in a very similar fashion to the way it did there.Īs usual, I started with STARE, and today received a yellow A and E. Last time this happened, for Saturday's puzzle, I played CLEAN second and it proved very helpful. I nearly switched things up for this game, reasoning that lightning wouldn't strike twice, and there were plenty of other ways I could have gone with it. WordleBot told me afterwards that I had 51 possible solutions left to me (anyone playing CRANE had just 21), and I could have followed up with the likes of PLEAD or HAVEN or LABEL or PEDAL or ALLEY, all of which would have had their benefits. In fact, ALIEN would also have been a good option, albeit one that would not have been able to score a 2/6. One other possibility was - you guessed it - GLEAN. This was the word that WordleBot suggested playing second in the ALIEN game, although it gave my choice of CLEAN exactly the same 99 skill rating. That game was fresh enough in my mind that I remembered WordleBot's advice and came this close to playing GLEAN second, but in the end decided to stick with CLEAN. On the one hand, this was a fine choice again. As it did in game #413, this narrowed down my 51 options to just one, which I found without any hesitation on the third guess.

Yesterday's Wordle answer #417, Wednesday, August 10 On the flip side, well, if I'd listened to WordleBot I would have scored a 2/6 here. ![]()
