It's interesting, this. I think most of us tend to opt for the 'more likely' word first but, the answers are randomly selected by software so, no word is more likely to be an answer than any other; I understand that the answers are curated to remove offensive words, etc.Wordle 1,002 3/6*

A tad lucky there in that I assumed a couple of much more common words had already been solutions.

In game #175, for example, it would have been a real punt to play the answer Conic rather than the more obvious Tonic (assuming the T was still in play) yet each word had the same probability of being right.
I can only think that conditioning pushes us towards the more familiar words despite the knowledge that they are no more likely to be the answer.
