Words are interesting. A popular online game is Wordle. The Free Dictionary contains 158,390 five letter words; the goal of Wordle. The number used by Wordle varies from reference to reference; 2309 or 2315. In these references you will see the initial list contained 12,972 words of which 10,967 are accepted as guesses, but only the smaller numbers above are the solution words.
It is amazing to me that in three or four attempts one can eliminate most of these.
