Show HN: Wordlestat, a discord bot that generates Wordle leaderboards (discord.com)
3 points by Wilsoniumite 9 months ago | hide | past | favorite
I played wordle a lot on discord and was annoyed that the new York Times bot doesn't even give you your average score. So, I made this bot that does that and a few other things, like generating leaderboards. I know there are some other bots that already do this but I wanted more ways of ranking. There are lots of statistical nuances I encountered while making it (I did a long writeup over on https://wilsoniumite.com/2025/11/05/calculating-a-wordle-lea...), so the bot supports elo scores and averages, calculated different ways. This does mean that pretty much every leaderboard is different, but I think it gives users control and also awareness that in truth, the leaderboard is just an approximation of true skill.
