Only here Separates skill from luck for every guess — how good your choice was versus how kind the colours were — free and without an account.

Finished a Wordle-style puzzle? Enter the answer and the words you played to see how good each choice was, and how much luck helped.

How skill and luck are measured

Skill is the information your guess was expected to give (Shannon entropy over the words still possible), as a share of the best guess available at that point: 100 means you played the best guess. Luck is the information you actually got minus what you expected: a guess that happened to rule out more words than average was lucky.

Scored against our list of likely answers (common English words from SCOWL), not any game's official list. The share text has no letters, so it doesn't spoil the puzzle. Not affiliated with The New York Times.
