Am I wrong in concluding that there’s now widespread cheating at Wordle? If you use the Wordle-bot to check your answer process, you see that more and more, a the most popular answer on turn 2 is the correct one. This seems incredibly improbable and it implies lots of people are cheating. 🧵with a spoiler for today’s worldle.

Today’s word was DAUNT. Most people’s first word was PLATE or ADIEU. The most popular word in the second round was the correct answer, DAUNT. Seriously? What kind of BS is this.

Why would you cheat on wordle? Like seriously, what is the point? Would someone who is a statistician explain why I am wrong here?
