This does not quite work.

For today's word (abbey):

- input "arise" (match "a", wrong position "e")

- solver says there are 10 possible words, one of them is "apnea"

- input "apnea" (match "a", match "e") EDIT: fixed

- solver says there are 0 possible words (it assumes last "a" should appear yellow, but the wordle page has the last "a" as grey because there is only one "a" in the word)

welp too late now.

Yesterday was the first time I played, after reading about some monetization thing on HN related to wordle. For me, my first guess was ABIDE, and was able to get AB in the correct location, with e in there as well.

Thinking that e was the second last letter, I was convinced it was ABLED, since it was the only word I could think of with an e in that position, but I didn't realize that I already tried D in the first word.

Using guesses 3-4, I wasn't able to narrow it down further than AB_E_. But I was able to eliminate some characters, leaving only ~ Q, X, Z, Y, J, K, F. In my mind, I couldn't figure out what 5 letter word could be made using just these letters, so I systematically tried swapping all combinations (wordle doesn't accept fake words).

It was only after that that I realized I could repeat letters, so I tried until I figured out duplicating B would give abbey, which seemed probably enough to be a real word.

Apnea would be match for “a” and “e”

Thank you! That's what I meant to write (and what I did in the solver), but instead copy pasted from the line above. Check it out:
