Once I had the last four letters on my second guess, I was debating whether to risk just YOLO'ing "could" on the off chance that it was "would" or "mould." I suppose I still would have had it within six guesses in either of those cases.
Thanks for getting me addicted to Wordle, Hexbear. My partner has apparently never had a run-in with my inner stats nerd, and therefore insists that it's just a game, and that I shouldn't be writing programs at 2:00 in the morning to calculate statistical weights for 5-letter word groupings based on occurrence frequency rates in the English dictionary.
Which reminds me, I should be using a data set that focuses on letter frequencies in just the 5-letter words, not the entire dictionary. :programming-communism:

If you want to beat me to it you also have to take into account letter position, it’s the frequency in each spot of the 5 letter list
