Signature Wordle (Ended)

We've all played the viral game Wordle, right?
If not, here are the basic rules
Guess the Wordle in 6 tries.
Each guess must be a valid 5 letter word.
After each guess, the color of the tiles will change to show how close your guess was to the word.

Examples:
BEARS
The B was in the right place
CHILL
The I is in the word, but not the right spot
HOUSE
The letter S is not in the word


A letter being used in the word more than once is possible and follows some janky rules but here is a reddit post that kinda explains it.

Every day I will take a random guess from this topic and use that as the clue. I will post that word with the letters highlighted into this topic and in my signature. If no guesses are made I will pick a random 5 letter word to be used as the clue.
The first person to guess the word correctly wins. I will also award them points based on how many clues were given (6 points minus 1 point for each clue).
I recommend you only make one guess per day, but if you want to make multiple anyways, I will pick one of your guesses randomly to be your official guess. (If you guess the correct word and an incorrect word, there is a chance I will randomly pick the incorrect one and you won't win!)

I will also accept guesses from Post ID 32768 for a limited time. Make sure to include the word "Wordle" in your post so I can find it. This has been retired.

Above is an image of what my signature looked like during a typical round a Signature Wordle (posting this here for archival purposes).

Ancient TBG History Lesson: This TBG was originally played entirely within my signature and the 32768 topic, that is why game 1 is not visible in this topic (link to the last post there).

Orb Fish

I'm the person who accidentally knocked some people - along with myself - down a big rabbit hole that we call the Mineral Fish fandom.

Quote from: PkmnQHow do you pick guesses?

Wordle: SNORE
First I pick a random TBGer that made a guess. Then if that person made multiple guesses I pick a random one of their words.
If you are wondering how I pick randomly, I use random.org.

PkmnQ, I thought of a strategy:
Guess the word with the highest information entropy.
*See XKCD 1688.
