> Amusingly I just noticed that Crape, Doily, Shunt is an opening that beats Absudle ... even though it's in no way optimized to be good against it.

Isn't it though? Absurdle uses the same legal guess and answer lists as wordle, and absurdle is all about overlapping with as many words as possible, so wouldn't the math be the same? Seems like the best strategy for openers against absurdle would be words that contain all the most common letters and sequences to force the AI to discard words that have them

>"to force the AI to discard words that have them"

The surprising part for me was that they are so common that AI starts out by giving me green squares. But yeah, it makes sense in retrospect that this strategy also works well on Absurdle, but since it's not what I set out to do it still amused me that it did.
