    As someone who did get SLOSH in 2, let me just use it to show the difference in people's perception of a fluke/unlikely result, and the actual reality.

    My first word was AROSE, which gave me green matches on OS. According to a wordle solver, there are 21 words matching that pattern.

    Taking into account the unmatched ARE, brings us down to just 6 possible solutions (five of which require a double letter).

    My usual second word wouldn't have helped with thinning the field, so slosh seemed worth a punt.

    It overlapped with ghost, floss, and gloss, and if I got no match, would have pointed me at boost. I admit kiosk had escaped me as an option.


    Sometimes the solution space is smaller than you would think, depending on the first word.

     so slosh seemed worth a punt.

    That's the luck part.

    I'd maybe go for SLOSH if I was on my second bottle of wine.

    I'd have looked at another vowel, maybe BOOST or KIOSK,

    or any double letters FLOSS or GLOSS.

    As I recall it took me 5.

    It's a little bit luck, sure. But 1 in 6 is hardly lottery winning odds.

    It's also strategy though. What guess gains me the most information if it's wrong?

    Kiosk tells you nothing, you still have 5 choices.

    Boost can overlap with Ghost, but if it doesn't you still have 4.

    Slosh or Ghost were the two best picks there by my reckoning.

    Eek! Of all the examples for me to pick, that was a bad one, there were more obscure words. Apologies, @wench, I had no memory of which words individual players solved in two lines and certainly had no intention of impugning your honest play. As you say, so much hinges on one's first word. The combination of skill and luck is what makes Wordle such a fun game. Players who were getting several 2s per week and no 5s or 6s were clearly skewing their results.

    50:50 chance on the third guess. But at least I didn’t cheat!

    That was a real struggle to actually get a word to fit and in a moment of complete idiocy I managed to put an already uncovered incorrect letter in guess 3
