Wordle and Nerdle, January 2023

文字和数字游戏，2023 年 1 月

Wordle: Start with googling “wordle” and we will get into the website https://www.nytimes.com/games/wordle/index.html with the following screen of six rows of five cells representing our six attempts at getting the correct word for the day.

Wordle：从谷歌搜索“wordle”开始，我们将进入网站 https://www.nytimes.com/games/wordle/index.html，屏幕显示以下六行，每行五个单元格，代表我们为获得正确结果所做的六次尝试一天的。你能在上面的照片中看到单词 Wordle 下方的六行，每行五个单元格吗？

Type in our first five-lettered word as our first guess.   It is usual to start with a word with four vowels, like: AUDIO; ADIEU; MIAOU; OUIJA: LOUIE; AULOI; AUREI; or OURIE.

The displayed result is then shown - Green coloured alphabet represent correct letters in the correct positions; Yellow coloured alphabets represent correct letters in the wrong positions; and Black coloured alphabets represent incorrect letters - that is to say, no such alphabets in the desired word (solution).

We often use the second guess to see if the missing vowel is in the solution, unless we are pretty sure from the result that the missing vowel is not needed.

Continue to have the next four more guesses.

If by the sixth guess, we cannot get the solution, we loose the Game.

输入我们的第一个五个字母的单词作为我们的第一个猜测。通常以一个有四个元音的单词开头，例如：AUDIO; ADIEU; MIAOU; OUIJA: LOUIE; AULOI; AUREI; or OURIE.
然后显示显示结果 - 绿色字母表示正确位置的正确字母；黄色字母代表错误位置的正确字母；黑色字母表示不正确的字母——也就是说，在所需的单词中没有这样的字母（解决方案）。
我们经常使用第二次猜测来查看丢失的元音是否在解决方案中，除非我们从结果中非常确定不需要丢失的元音。
继续进行接下来的四次猜测。
如果到第六次猜测，我们无法得到解决方案，我们就输了游戏。

WORDLE for January 1st 2023, Sunday

First attempt: OURIE. ‘ I ‘ is yellow (right alphabet, wrong position) and ‘ E ‘ is green (right alphabet, right position).

Second attempt: TIARE. This test for the presence, if any, of the vowel ‘ A ‘. ‘ A ‘ is coloured black, that means ‘ A ‘ is not in the solution.

Third attempt: CHINE. Four greens in ‘ H I N E’.

Fourth attempt: WHINE. All green. All correct.

No of Games played to date is 302. No. of Games won to date is 300, which the sum of all the successes in the chart above - 6 successes with two attempts; plus 98 successes with three attempts; plus 143 successes with four attempts; plus 46 successes with five attempts; plus 7 successes with six attempts.

Nerdle:

Google “nerdle” and we will get this six rows of eight blank cells. https://nerdlegame.com

We have to guess an equation that is stored by the computer program for today.  The equation has eight spaces to be filled in with digits, an equal sign, and some arithmetical signs ( +  -  *  / ) representing addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. 

Our usual first equation is in the form of (digit) * (digit) + (digit) = (digit) (digit) with all the five digits different from one another like:

9 * 4 + 1 = 3 7

We are given six guesses to guess at the SOLUTION, that is the equation that the computer provides for us to guess for the day. If we cannot guess the right equation by the sixth attempt, we fail in the game, that is to say, we lost.

This time, a green represents a correct digit or sign in the right position; a purple represents a correct digit or sign but in the wrong position and a black represents an incorrect digit or sign.

数字游戏“书呆子”： 谷歌“书呆子”，我们将得到这六行八个空白单元格。 https://nerdlegame.com

我们必须猜测今天由计算机程序存储的方程式。该等式有八个空格需要用数字、一个等号和一些算术符号 (+ - * / ) 来填充，分别代表加、减、乘、除。
我们通常的第一个等式是 (digit) * (digit) + (digit) = (digit) (digit) 的形式，所有五个数字彼此不同，例如：
9 * 4 + 1 = 3 7
我们有六种猜测来猜测解决方案，这是计算机提供给我们当天猜测的方程式。如果我们在第六次尝试中仍然猜不出正确的方程式，那么我们就输了，也就是说我们输了。
这一次，绿色代表正确的数字或​​符号在正确的位置；紫色代表正确的数字或​​符号但位置错误，黑色代表不正确的数字或​​符号。

Nerdle for Sunday, 1st January 2023,

First attempt: 9 * 4 + 1 = 3 7 Six purples and two blacks.

Second attempt: 2 1 3 / 7 1 = 3 Three greens. Logic here: With the multiplication ( * ) and the addition ( + ) signs out of the SOLUTION, the equal sign has to be in the seventh position for a one digit answer. We can also deduce logically that there is no room on the left hand side of the equation for two signs, so only the division sign ( / ) is considered. This proves to be correct.

Third attempt: 1 7 7 / 5 9 = 3. Almost all correct.

Fourth attempt: 1 4 7 / 4 9 = 3. Correct.
