What is the Average Number of Guesses in Wordle? Assuming that you employ a working strategy in your moves, the odds of you solving a Wordle challenge touch an average of 4 guesses in the easy mode and 5 guesses in the hard mode (of course it is under the non-negotiable condition that you are a human player playing in the “fair” mode.)

The key takeaway from these findings is it appears an average of roughly 3.6 guesses is considered the sweet spot for getting a Wordle puzzle correct. Anything better than 3.6 guesses is above average while a guess total over 3.6 is below average.
