Regarding Wordle, it should be straightforward to make a token-based version of it, and I would assume that that has been tried. It seems the obvious thing to do when one is interested in the reasoning abilities necessary for Wordle.

That doesn't seem straightforward - although it's blind to letters because all it sees are tokens, it doesn't have much training data ABOUT tokens.

  • What parent is saying is that instead of asking the LLM to play a game of Wordle with tokens like TIME,LIME we ask it to play with tokens like T,I,M,E,L. This is easy to do.

    • And if you tell it to think up a word that has an E in position 3 and an L that's somewhere in the word but not in position 2, it's not going to be any better at that if you tell it to answer one letter at a time.
