Hey #wordle fans,
I hacked on a small, fun project this weekend that analyzes how good the "first word" you use as a guess for Wordle.
Would love for you to try it out:
firstword.app
Props if you have a word that ranks in the top 50.

So now assume what word one is, what would be the top score for word two? Your first two guess are the most important ones.

The one I calculated comes in at #2 on your list. Very curious what your #1 is!

It's ORATE. And here's why:

was curious how the top spot was calculated – not sure I understand how the formula works. am assuming it's a vector of occurrence frequency and place match, but oater and orate have same letters, but orate has better place match, so would have thought it'd be #1
