Wordle Percentage Curiousity

“99 percent”

Did you know that the ‘Percentage’ on your wordle stats is simply the number you’ve done successfully, over the total number of attempts rounded to the nearest integer? So 198/199 = 99.4975ish, rounds down to 99.

“100 percent”

While 199/200 = 99.5, rounds up to 100.

I feel obligated to add: chasing this curiousity I cheated many times, by opening up a new browser and then continuing to guess until I knew I had the right word. Those two instances of getting it on the first guess were real, though. ‘Earth’ and ‘Piano’ (which are both semi-regular starting words, which I was delighted to have tried on the days that they were that day’s word).
