03/03/2026: Wordle 1718 3/6





98 choices after 1 & 2 after 2.

Note: Both words were used before! I chose the one that was the least likely based on letter frequency.

NYT Average: 4.6
Distribution: 2.3% in 2; 15.2% in 3; 44.8% in 4; 75.9% in 5; 94.0% in 6
Par 5???

Another note: This word isn't that difficult to solve using standard start words.

I'm going to go back to see if I can find out what the NYT Average was when this word was 1st used to see if it was a Par 5 then too or not.
