We let Jev, which can only choose and can't see or write
Let Jev, which can only choose, play Wordle by picking guesses while a separate LLM handled text.
The original post
We let Jev, which can only choose and can't see or write, play today's Wordle. Its first guess never landed. Then it decided to search the web, and its text-writing sidekick typed "today's wordle answer". It never opened a result. GPT-6 Astra solved it in 3.
Engagement when collected
Numbers are a snapshot taken from X when the case was added to the library (schema v1, collected 2026-09-19); they will not match today.
Where this case fits
Filed under coding & developer tools, games & playable demos. In the pattern Jev is built for, the model answers a bounded question per step — and ordinary code acts on the answer, because the answer is already a value rather than a paragraph. Other posts in the same family are on the coding & developer tools page.
