Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

Can you calculate the value of using the previous solutions list?
Yes. I believe it's a combination between the small breakthroughs and the reduction of the 6 Solutions ( 2,315 -> 2,309) of course we are now back up to 2,312 with the 3 new ones added (3rd one is pending). SALET is down to 7894 (Default Mode) with the new additional guess options and six less Solutions to solve. But TARSE is 11 steps total steps better. Understandably, 11 steps is minuscule when it's. 7883 vs 7894. Link: https://github.com/alex1770/wordle/blob/main/results_easy_nyt20220830

Can anyone solve this?
You do realize adieu is a shit starting word, right? TRUCK isn't very good, ranks 5,406th. But "adieu" is even worse at 7,396th. Source . There's a reason that players with "adieu" as their starting word have one of the worst averages in Wordle (rivaled only by AUDIO). It's because it's a terrible choice. I don't have the all-time stats in front of me, but take today for instance. Out of these 5 options, adieu players were last: LEAST = 3.9 average STARE = 4.0 avg SATER = 4.1 avg RAISE = 4.3 avg adieu = 4.7 avg

I discovered a trick to help solve it with mostly 3’s
Nice, it's cool to find someone using a similar strategy :). I looked for CRATE SPOIL in Alex Selby's full list of pairs here: https://github.com/alex1770/wordle/blob/e298e35fbc044a8137da235a8940748770cefd2c/twowords-nyt20220316-best11099.txt It's around 300th and takes an average of ~0.04 more guesses on the original game (with optimal play) than PARSE CLINT, which is not bad at all. Such a small difference might be overshadowed by how well the pair fits with your playing style. But I encourage you to try it out! It's been doing well for me so far and maybe it'll spice up your game a bit.

I’ve realized that hard mode is actually harder.

Daily Wordle #277 - Wednesday, 23 Mar. 2022
¹ Alex Selby’s wordle solver has starting words of CHOMP and THUMP. A starting word of RIDES is inadvisable as the minimum number of guesses in definitely more than 12. Link: https://github.com/alex1770/wordle

Game Boy Wordle clone: How to compress 12972 five-letter words to 17871 bytes
Like y'all, I wanted to see how I could do. Of course, I didn't get all the way to tested code on a gameboy. But it does compress & decompress in Python.
I took the central idea of encoding deltas (or actually delta less 1, since the delta is always at least one; I'll just say delta below), but did it on the full five letter word. The largest delta was still less than 2*18 but bigger than 2*17. (I'm not sure why the blog mentions 20 bits as the biggest delta; I used the dataset from https://github.com/alex1770/wordle/commit/62520406365ca58a1a...)
I decided I wanted a variable length code in bits. Manually, I found the best break-points that I could:
breaks = [16, 128, 512, 2**12, 2**18]

Show HN: Micro LZMA decoder (x86 assembly code golf)
Crinkler [1] is a popular compressor-linker for 1--8 KB demos and its decompressor (partially embedded in a PE header) is probably around 1--200 bytes. Later efforts like oneKpaq [2] also have a comparable decompressor size.
If you don't mind a shameless plug and a slightly larger decompressor (about 500 bytes in JS) for better compression, my Roadroller [3] might fit the bill as well.

Game Boy Wordle clone: How to compress 12972 five-letter words to 17871 bytes
Roadroller [1] is probably a borderline general purpose compression algorithm, and with some automatic parameter tuning it results in 12,170 bytes estimated [2], at the expense of a lot of memory. "Estimated" because the algorithm was originally meant to be recompresssed in a ZIP file, so it doesn't bother to generate the smallest JS file in terms of uncompressed size (yet).
[1] https://lifthrasiir.github.io/roadroller/ (the exact parameters: golf.horse dataset; input mode text; action write to document; # contexts 12 with 12,15,49,50,70,79,96,97,131,154,292,353; pollute the global scope; max memory usage 150 MB; precision 16; learning rate 1333; model max count 11; model base divisor 14; dynamic model flags -1; # abbreviations 64)

And compressed final code even more with Roadroller (reduced 1.3 KB in the zip). And used ECT to recompress the zip (reduced 300 KB).

Q1K3
I'm honored that Q1K3, in addition to many other entries to js13kGames 2021, is compresed with Roadroller [1], which is the reason that its source code is basically a random-looking string plus some bit of JS code.
