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]

CVE-2023-4863: Heap buffer overflow in WebP (Chrome)
So the real issue here is that the lack of tree validation before the tree construction, I believe. I'm surprised that this check was not yet implemented (I actually checked libwebp to make sure that I was missing one). Given this blind spot, an automated test based on the domain knowledge is likely useless to catch this bug.

Notes: Advanced Node.js Concepts by Stephen Grider
In the source code of the Node.js opensource project, lib folder contains JavaScript code, mostly wrappers over C++ and function definitions. On the contrary, src folder contains C++ implementations of the functions, which pulls dependencies from the V8 project, the libuv project, the zlib project, the llhttp project, and many more - which are all placed at the deps folder.
