**New York, NY** – The March 30th Wordle puzzle, QUOTA, proved to be exceptionally difficult for players, with an average solve time of 5.4 out of 6 attempts, according to The Wordle Review. This challenging word, defined as “a share or proportion,” stumped many participants.
The Wordle Review, a daily analysis of the popular word game, reported that its testers, who are paid to solve the puzzles in advance, found the word particularly tricky. Several example attempts were shared, highlighting the difficulty in reaching the solution. One player’s attempts included “CANOE,” “SHOAL,” and “ABORT” before finally landing on “QUOTA.” A charming anecdote accompanying the attempts detailed a peaceful canoe trip abruptly interrupted by hitting a shoal, creating a relatable metaphor for the puzzle’s difficulty.
WordleBot, a tool that analyzes puzzle difficulty, gave the puzzle a “Skill” rating of 92/99 and a “Luck” rating of 47/99, suggesting a combination of challenging letter combinations and a degree of chance involved in solving it.
