Crossposting from the wordle thread:
So I did a thing… Since wordle is open source, it’s really easy to inspect the page and get the entire word list behind the game. So I took those words, then built an Excel file that lets you enter in your guesses and the results, and then it outputs the possible words that could work.
PM me if you want a link to the file. Inputting stuff is a little clunky, but it was fun to figure out how to narrow down the list of possible words given the results of each guess.

I’ve managed to try out a few strategies and I’ve gotten a few words in five guesses but I can’t seem to do any better than that.

all the old farts are doing wordle, but do you think that’s too easy?
of course you do! that’s for peasants!
You want absurdle!
Absurdle @ Things Of Interest
The game where it takes your guesses and keeps changing the target word(s) so that the greatest number of possibilities exist. But worry not, unlike the wordle-for-the-hoi-polloi, you’ve got infinite chances on this game!
So go for it!
I’ve been trying to see if I can end up with a word that has a “Q” in it. Haven’t found one yet. I have gotten “Z”.

A map with birthplaces of notable people
Notable people
Using data from Morgane Laouenan et al ., the map is showing birthplaces of the most “notable people” around the world. Data has been processed to show only one person for each unique geographic location with the highest notability rank. Click below to show people only from a specific category.
Made by Topi Tjukanov.
Inspired by People Map of the U.S by The Pudding.
Interesting to look at the notability indexes. Obama is #1 and Trump is #2 . Adolf Hitler is 4. Michael Jackson is 6 and Elvis is 10. Nelson Mandela is 15.
