All-Time Solver Stats#
Across NerdleBuddy's full modelled answer pool — 17,723 written forms — the committed decision tree averages 2.964 guesses, and never needs more than 5 guesses for any modeled form. Browse the hardest verified Classic answers for difficult published puzzles, or read the methodology page for exactly how that average is computed.
How These Numbers Are Made#
NerdleBuddy counts come from its date-to-puzzle assignments; difficulty and strategy averages come from its solver model. The methodology page has the full write-up of how the dataset, difficulty scale, and solver strategy are built.
Classic statistics use answers already verified against Nerdle's published pages. Missing records are excluded, and answers outside our model stay unrated.
