Using Statistics To Beat Wordle
This is a video on how we can use concept of probability and expected values to create an almost perfect Wordle player. I also make a simple proof of concept to show how good the method is, and do some analysis on why some guesses are better than others (spoiler: "lares" is apparently a very good first guess).
I don't claim this idea to be unique or anything, but I still do want to give the problem a go myself regardless.
If you haven't played Wordle, check it here (I am not the developer of the game): www.powerlanguage.co.uk/wordle/
Slight disclaimer: 99.9% win rate is only true for the game's easy mode. It's a slight caveat but it's still quite impressive the solver works

Conservation of Momentum
Просмотров 1,4 тыс.4 года назад
Extra bit: ruclips.net/video/7-toe229pfU/видео.html Some points - the argument I made for the conservation of momentum in this video is a bit simplistic (e.g. that the forces during the collision is a constant throughout, or that we restrict ourselves to collisions of objects), but just as a simple "proof" this works well enough. The extra bit (linked above) should provide a good enough general...

    The law of non-contadiction : nothing is it's opposite, is important technical apparatus for underwriting the operational - institutional * - possibility of equal opportunity, because it functions like a complementary epistemological standard to the ideosyncratic faculties - emotion, inuition, revelation, faith, or some combination of these - for percepto-reason and it's value is illustrated by the Normal Probability Density Function, which returns a unique solution for it's input, however is derived from the equation for a circle, which is a relation with more than one possible output : instead of defining the square root of number representative syntax < . < for " . " multiplied by as < opposite to > , conventionally it is - < and < for " - " negative. * The rules and conventions guiding behaviour.

    6:40 A better method: only generate your x samples. For each x, calculate the y (you're already doing this to decide if an x,y sample is inside or not, so this is the same efficiency). Add all of your y values to a floating point accumulator. At the end, divide the accumulated value by the number of samples to get an average height, and multiply by the width of the domain (10-1=9). You don't even need to know the maximum height this way. In practice, you wouldn't even use random x values, but equally spaced ones. In fact, I whipped this up in Python, and got the answer correct to about 1 part in 10^12, compared to yours at 1 part in 1^4.

    I have seen a couple of videos where this integral is solved by substituting x^2 + y^2 = r^2 and letting dy dx = r dr d(theta) and another one where instead of polar coordinates stuff it goes by substitution y = xt. This is the first time I have seen a visual approach and it's really really good... Much appreciated :slightly_smiling_face:

    It’s easier too. If you know the gaussian formula, you can moltiplicate and divide that expression for sqrt(2*π*1/2), and drag out the numerator from integral. Now the integral represents the area of a gaussian with mean=0 and variance=1/2 that’s equal 1 and the amount out of integral is sqrt(2*π*1/2), that’s actually sqrt(π). Great video anyway
