In the time you have been playing Wordle mick, you have had 2 bullseye's, our team had 1 with the word SAUTE some time ago.mickthemaverick wrote: ↑06 Aug 2022, 06:32 miraculous bullseye on wordle although it was one of my regular starters that came up trumps:
My thinking of the incredibly long odds of a randomly generated 5 letter word, and an individual competitor selecting the same 5 letter word on guess 1, would make the small sample of our households hitting the bullseye 3 times unlikely.
To encourage playing I am guessing that heardle uses a selection algorithm from its now vast database of players, and the words they select, to encourage the odd bullseye, and more generally manipulate the degree of difficulty to keep people interested, and to throw out random rewards. So maybe the bullseyes are the commonly used start words across all the users in all the world.
Many heardle players will start with the same word all the time. I used to use AUDIO seeing as it used 4 Vowels and follow that up with STERN getting the other vowel out the way and some commonly used consonants.
