I guessed many words I didn't know on Wordle (not a native English speaker), if you are able to reduce enough the letters search space there's going to be only a few options that e.g. make sense phonetically.
I actually misread the original comment but I guess my question is still somewhat relevant so leaving it as it is. You're right that it's easier to just bruteforce it in Wordle.
This was my problem too. If there was a scoring system, it might make sense to buy letters against your score, to help you forward once you're stuck. I got stuck. What the heck goes between Volatile and Vole?
