Studying linguistics I see there is luck involved and strategy. That is if you want to get the wordle in 3 trieds. I go against the AI and start with MEANT.

I do get lucky and hit 3 letters, ANT , but the word can't end in ANT because the letters are yellow. So all 3 letters go in different slots. Thinking to myself what letters combine with ANT I don't come up with anything good.

So I put in scrabblecheat.com N???? to see what letters are most used with N as that is the least frequently used letter of the 3. I decided to find a word with SAPO which is a mistake as I already used A. Even worse its in the same spot as A in MEANT, the third spot. I got angry with myself at costing myself a chance to gain information. I hit big with Y as the right letter and in the right spot. You can see in the chart Y shows up as the last letter often. I also nailed S but in the wrong spot. Now I can narrow the words down a lot.

Now I use the Wordle tool fully. I put the Green letters, Yellow letters, and Gray letters in the right boxes and hit Show Words. Incredible only 3 words fit and after looking my guess is NASTY and I am right. Even with some blunders I got the word in 3 tries using linguistics and some wisdom.
