The solution to Wordle 646 was GUANO, which your bot considered an "unlikely possibility". Not sure what you can do about it since the official answer list isn't public anymore.

This is because beginning with game 646, the NYT editor began using target words from the total allowed guesses corpus rather than just the original 2309 target words. Presumably, the targets will continue to follow the same standards of usage frequency, no plurals, etc., but this move does change things for the bots.

659 was SNAFU. I also found an interview with Wordle editor Tracy Bennett where she indicates that BLING and LATKE are words she would like to add to the answer list.
