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.
