@haahr Based on /usr/dict/words, I liked TARES, COULD, then PINKY. It turns out the Wordle list drops all (?) the plural words that end in S. So putting S in the final slot was a complete waste. 🙃

@haahr I went down a similar analysis path on /usr/dict/words, until I discovered that Wordle has a set of (common) words that can be the solution, and a (wider) set of exotic words that can be used as guesses: reddit.com/r/wordle/comme…

A thread about Wordle, letter frequencies, and how the choice of corpus matters for textual analysis. I’ve only been playing Wordle for about two weeks, so I can’t claim any expertise, but it tickled some old interests of mine and then I got a little obsessed. /1

@shikibmehri please tell me that TARES scores well, because that's my cornerstone based on letter frequency, plus the odds of 'e' at the fourth slot and 's' as the final letter. :)

@mattcutts And rather than just optimizing for letter overlap for the first word, I calculate the EXPECTED size of common words left after the filters. Each combination of [guessed] x [hidden] gives a specific set of [possible valid words]. AROSE is #9 on the list with expected size of 66.

I wrote a near-optimal algorithm for WORDLE that averages 3.5 guesses (3.25 over last 2wks)! Here’s what we can learn: - The best first word is ROATE - It’s suboptimal to limit yourself to valid words: if CREAM gives you 🟩⬛️⬛️⬛️⬛️→ your second guess shouldn’t start with C

Today was my first Canadian snow day! Thanks to @aranoff for introducing me to this beast of a winter. Tomorrow's experiment is maple syrup taffy on the snow in our backyard. 🇨🇦❤️❄️

Canadians, which bank has the best user experience (website or app that works well, strong customer service, and smooth at setting up RRSPs/TFSAs)? Which bank do you prefer and why? Thank you!

I'm thankful to @aranoff for introducing me to the tradition of "pumpkin parades" on a recent date night. The day after Halloween, many folks in Toronto bring their pumpkins to outdoor parks. It's a safe way to bring a community together and share some fun.

Now that I no longer have tons of meetings, it was nice to look through photos of the last two years together with @aranoff. My faves are the silly ones and dog pictures. I hope you get to take some time to reflect on the people and things that make you feel happy today.

These fellowships bring technical expertise into Congress, which is hugely important and impactful. I hope that USDS alumni and civic tech folks will consider applying.
