What a weird word. It's in the OED btw.
OED said:
cruve, cruwel(l
obs. ff. cruive, cruel.
No examples of it ever even being used. No etymology. Even by my usual rule of "if it's in the OED it's a word and if not, it's not" this is barely a word.

I did not clip this. It is literally the entire entry for this so-called "word" in the most comprehensive dictionary of the English language ever made.

It wouldn't be the first time I ever guessed a Wordle guess out of pure desperation and realized "what the FUCK how is this EVEN A WORD?"
 
Whenever I post here, you'd be sure it is not an easy day.

The Bot AGAIN gave me a 0 for my fourth guess even though it eliminated the other possibilities and was a reasonable guess.
How hard it is to code a reliable WordleBot? Your score should depend on the amount of information you gained after each guess. (1) Eliminated letters are information. So are (2) Confirmed but misplaced letter and (3) confirmed and correctly-placed letter. Assign a weight for each (1), (2), (3); adjust them according to letter frequencies (a confirmed "Z" is worth more than a confirmed "E") and commonly-encountered combos (PR and ST, for example) The only guesses that warrant a zero is when you guess an anagram of eliminated letters (e.g. If you guess PLEAT gets only a green T, and you then guess LEAPT, you deserve zero as no info is gained.)
