Thought I would share what my spreadsheet looks like because I just cleaned it up and am rather proud of it. I was just making one from scrap each day but decided to spend a few minutes to make a saved version that was cleaner. Example images are a random mix, not reflective of any specific word.

What I do is make a 1-3 guesses first and then if I am stuck put the letters in the different spots across the top. I have over 8,000 five letter words listed down the side copying out two different sources online and removing duplicates.

• Green - Put the exact letter in the correct spot.
• Yellow - Put yellow letters in any order.
• Grey - Put grey letter in any order.

Then I apply filters.

• Green - Filter for the place, so if the "O" is 2nd I filter for that column to be value 2. The formula is returning the place the letter first shows up in the queried word. So if it is a value "2" it is the second letter in the word.
• Yellow - Filter for any value, that tells me the word option has the letter in question.
• Grey - Filter for blank values, that tells me the word option does not have the letter in question.

I'm left with a list of possible words that I can make more guesses to narrow down or figure out the right word based on the positions I know letters are not in. The only thing is can't handle is if I figure out the second of a double letter because the formula returns the first occurrence of letter. If the letter I know is that second time that letter is in a word it won't read right but that's where I have to think some too. For the above, since so many words end in "Y" most likely "Y" isn't at the end so I could probably eliminate all but four words and depending on where I know the "L" isn't I would have one or two to pick from. And just thought of it, since the number is the place in the word if I know "Y" isn't the 5th letter I could filter out instances where Y is 5 with my existing format instead of visually checking. Same duplicate letter weakness but excel isn't perfect and human thinking still exists with it.

.... And yes, I spend way to much time in excel. I literally work with excel for several hours a day so its become how I think.

Way too much work for me though since I retired.

Here’s another one. It’s easy and quick, good if you have just a few minutes or just want to distract yourself briefly. Good for kids, too.

I did get it today in three. Starter word helped out a lot.

 

[Tobermory]

My starter word didn’t help, but my usual second word gave it away.

This is the first time I’ve missed it. I was only off by the first letter and I can think of several words it could have been!

I tried, but got frustrated after 5 words, and gave up.

6/6 Not very successful as I'd never heard of the word, so had to keep trying just putting in any letters until a word was accepted. It took me a long time
