In a recent round of Wordle, I thought I could solve it on the third guess rather than use my typical strategy that pretty much guarantees I get it in four. Taking the risk on getting it in three resulted in me getting it in five. I would have had it in four had I used my regular strategy.
The Wordle situation highlights a difference in strategy and goals focus. My regular strategy removes a significant number of unknowns. That gives me a high solve rate. But some people want to have as few guesses as possible, but there are more unknowns. Someone taking that route is likely to have more solves with fewer guesses, but may have fewer total solves.
The same situation is found in business. Choice of strategy should be dependent on the outcomes you are looking for.
