I actually tried the example given on the Absurdle to get to 4 but it didnβt work with the current word list I think.

Took some trial and error, I can get 6 fairly reliably. Put Y in the first guess so it doesn't appear in the result, gets rid of words ending double letter Y e.g. JAZZY. Getting S out of the way also helpful, and as many other high frequency letters as you can.

Iβve managed to get in five or six attempts pretty regularly on Absurdle - still trying to get that elusive four. Anyone else has managed?
― Roz, Friday, 14 January 2022 10:56 (two years ago) link
Lots of fives but no fours - weirdly the one mention in the notes (aiery/canst/dolma/offal) doesn't work, laugh/lauch/pupal are all possible after that.
― two sleeps till brooklyn (ledge), Friday, 14 January 2022 11:20 (two years ago) link
But if you guess pupal it gives you the win, instead of carrying on with laugh/lauch and giving a grey for the Ps and a yellow for the U.
― two sleeps till brooklyn (ledge), Friday, 14 January 2022 11:24 (two years ago) link
sorry, not lauch (whatever that is), the c is not available. laugh still works though.
― two sleeps till brooklyn (ledge), Friday, 14 January 2022 11:33 (two years ago) link
it has been pointed out to me that 'laugh' is not available at that point as 'a' in second place has already been ruled out.
― two sleeps till brooklyn (ledge), Friday, 14 January 2022 15:11 (two years ago) link
Your point still stands: that the example given on the website does not work.

peaked at 23, really gotta walk away, all the dumbass things make my blood boil more than this mild diversion is worth it. one i don't think we've vented about is the arbitrary and silly dates when various art movements and historical periods "ended." also mannn there are a lot of Nazi military officers in this thing. can't recall ever getting any of their Allied equivalents even.

good read, thank you! i kinda figured. on top of Nazi apologism, Wikipedia provides ideal conditions for military nuts and wargame grognards generally. you wanna add crufty detail to some article nobody else is paying attention to? go right ahead! so any article about any battle or military figure is REAMS longer, more pointlessly detailed, more prose-y, and less citation-rich than an encyclopedia article should be. except for bold souls like ms. coffman, nobody edits all this stuff except other military nuts and wargame grognards, and barely anybody else reads it. god help you if you just want to BASICALLY brush up on the Battle of Midway, you could spend a whole afternoon there.
