Well after yesterday's failure, I did think that today was going to be a great day but still only a five.

How did you manage that leap ???

I work with eliminator words and letter probabilities.
My first 2 regular words use the 4 most common vowels in the WORDLE universe and 6 of the 7 most common consonants.
Often that reduces options to a few.

Given the 2 greens and a yellow, I changed my second word to NYMPH to maximise elimination
That left me with 3 possible words, but in practice my usual eliminator would have given an extra letter and 5 options, 2 of which were very obscure, so I ended up with the same 3 options.

A further eliminator would have meant a certain score of 4.
Guess rather than eliminator meant a possible score of 3,4 or 5.

EDIT : More stats than linguistics!

WoW, you do take it seriously (that's not a criticism).
