I was going to be faced with multiple choice after furry--burly, surly, curly --so for the first time used a trick I'd seen from the bot analysis, which was to use a word with the b, s, c, and l to rule out letters. It worked! Happy to take a 5 on this one.

7. Plus, BURLY and SURLY were previous answers

9. I don't keep a list of previous answers

But then when I looked at the bot analysis, it clued me there were even more possibilities--like curvy and murky--that I hadn't considered.

10. ''Wordle solutions don't repeat. Does the bot take that into account? ... No"

Wordle solutions don’t repeat. Does the bot take that into account?

No, it does not. And yes, this is a disadvantage for the bot against any people who keep track of which words have already appeared as Wordle solutions.

14. That's how I plan to beat the Bot!

From your NYT link:
~~~~~~~~~~
Is the bot dumber now that it doesn’t know the solution list?

Only slightly. It solves Wordles in 3.5 turns on average (instead of 3.4) in standard mode, and in 3.6 turns in hard mode (instead of 3.5). So far, it has solved all past Wordles in standard mode, and it has failed a few times in hard mode, and we expect it to fail several more times in hard mode.
~~~~~~~~~~

My current average is 3.458, and I'm hoping to get the average below 3.45 so it's not rounded up to 3.5. My average would indeed drop below 3.45 if I get 8 consecutive 3's, as one example of getting there.

Looking at a list of past answers has definitely helped me a few times.

11. I once posted a list of heavy-consonant obscure words useful for condensing possible choices:

Here are a few more: AWMRY --AWDLS -- HOAED

35. 5.

Got the first three letters after the second guess, but finding the fourth letter presented a bit of a problem due to the multiple possibilities.

Wordle 770 5/6*

⬜⬜🟩⬜⬜EARNS
🟩🟩🟩⬜⬜CURIO (Chosen mainly to check for I and/or O. Came up empty, but got the first three letters.)
🟩🟩🟩⬜🟩CURVY (Knowing Wordle's fondness for infrequently used letters. Letter #4 still missing.)
🟩🟩🟩⬜🟩CURRY (Trying a more frequently used letter for #4. Nope.)
🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩CURLY (Finally!)
