I ❤️ 90s sitcoms (esp. Friends, Frasier and Seinfeld), so I looked into which was most popular at the time.
It blew my mind that Seinfeld had higher ratings than Friends in the US (at least during its later seasons). A true master of its domain.
FYI @JerrySeinfeld

So I was playing Wordle by @powerlanguish and I wondered – what's the optimal first guess, i.e. the word that maximises your chances of winning?
As I'm self-isolating and apparently have nothing better to do, I figured out that word is LARES.
Rationale and #rstats code below 👇
Update! I learned via @MeijaJuris that Wordle only uses a subset of words as possible solutions.
If we take this into account, LARES is only #2 – SOARE is #1, which is the same conclusion that @bertrandom came to.
The word LARES is that which – on average – reduces the solution space the most, specifically from 10k to 300.
In general, good first guesses are those that use common letters but do not repeat them.
Here's the link to the (currently very messy) #rstats code for anyone who wants to explore further: github.com/joshua-feldman/wo….
I deleted my earlier tweet because I noticed a bug, but the end result was the same after fixing it.
