NYT has a new analysis tool called Wordlebot, it gives you some stats on your latest effort.

I had a hard time even thinking of words for this today!
Wordle 296 4/6
And I made a silly mistake on third guess and forgot to include one of the letters. 
ETA:

Phew! That LR almost stumped me. I was thinking it was NYT so didn’t think they’d include that word.

It means vim, or vigor. A certain “joie de vivre”

That’s true. I guess in the local parlance it just means a very specific joie de vivre…

I have a paid subscription so I didn’t know if they just wanted an email or cash.
I’m not sure the data is useful but I think NYT just wanted to give people more stuff to share for marketing.

I admit to using Wordhippo to get even a list of words to guess at with this one!

I tried the analysis tool.

I’m still trying to wrap my head around the fact that “skill” and “luck” aren’t opposite ends of one continuum…
Here’s how they define them:
SKILL: Did you minimize the expected number of turns it would take to solve the puzzle?
LUCK: Did your guesses eliminate more solutions than expected?
And this, from the bot (it’s kinda chatty) :
One note: I ignore your first guess when calculating your overall skill score. Be free!

I’m not a subscriber, so I won’t be using the fancy new tool.

I got the impression from NukeML’s post above that it just needs an email and log in.
I am a subscriber (well, I’m on my sister’s as a +1; you get all the same benefits) but when I’m on the WordleBot page and I log out it then says “Create your free account or log in to continue reading”.
The NYT news isn’t free, but they have said that they’ll keep Wordle free, so I’m guessing the WordleBot is free along with it?
Anyway, you might try just making a login if you’re interested in trying the tool—and let us know if that works, if you do! Or maybe @anon87143080 can advise…

I just made a new email account and logged in with that. Nothing too fancy.

So I logged out of my NYT account on Firefox and then opened Google Chrome where I’ve never logged into NYT and completed today’s Wordle. I then went to WordleBot where it showed I was not logged in and it had an option to subscribe but it did not require me to login, it just gave me the results.
I did this on my desktop PC. I also just noticed there are a few screens to swipe through that gives you various other statistics.
So who knows what they actually want but it appears it’s still free.
I gave up caring who has my email address but I still have some junk Gmail accounts just in case.

Interesting! (Even though I have a subscription, I like knowing things like this, so I can tell other friends.)
Yes, especially if you click “Show Details” on the fourth, fifth, or sixth screens, there’s a lot more info.
