Each game I started with Brand Weigh Flock Stump. Then almost every time I get it right with the next (fifth) guess. Once in a blue moon I needed a sixth guess. Same strategy I use for quordle/octordle/Sedecordle and would use if I played Wordle in easy mode.

Occasionally it takes six guesses.

Absurdle 6/∞ https://qntm.org/files/absurdle/absurdle.html

⬜⬜⬜⬜⬜
⬜⬜⬜⬜⬜
⬜🟨⬜⬜⬜
⬜🟩⬜⬜⬜
⬜🟩🟨🟨⬜
🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩

I bet you would get similar results using this strategy in Wordle. It wouldn’t minimize the number of guesses, but it might maximize your wining percentage without relying on lucky guesses.

So, I tried your strategy with words in this order: brand stump weigh flock.. And I tried it 3 times in a row, and the answer was civic every time. I think that's what xyzzy is getting at.

Switching the order of the four words will lead to a different solution, but as you noted, one particular order will lead to a very limited number of possible solutions after the fourth guess. I think this illustrates why this is an effective strategy for the other -dle games, if the goal is to maximize winning percentage without relying on guessing.

yes, interesting. I've played three times, starting with train-hosed-clump and each time the "answer" turned out to be a variation of -ully. Bully, gully, fully.
