probably an optimal choice unless you're going for a shot-in-the-dark 1/6

I feel like there's something to be said for covering a lot of vowels, I was finding adieu pretty nice

well the probability of a 1/6 would be the same even if you used the same word every day so the strategy holds up

i would almost say this is true, but for the fact that it seems plural words are not chosen very frequently

i think there are just not that many 5 letter plurals

the entire thing is client side though so you can look at the word list (just scroll down a bit)

i don't know if it actually uses all of those words as the correct solutions though (i would assume it doesn't because a lot of those "words" are very unusual)

As I understand it there are two separate lists. A list of words it accepts as guesses and a smaller list it actually picks answers from.

if you ctrl+f to today's word, it has all the previous words before it :o has it already decided which words will be correct?

Yep it's all just set in advance. You can just set your system clock forward or back to do past or future Wordles.
