Play Wordle in a browser with a computer-using agent
Researchers had OpenAI's Computer-Using Agent play NYT Wordle; it solved only 5.36% of about 200 runs, mainly from misreading tile colors.
What they did
The researchers pointed OpenAI's Computer-Using Agent at the New York Times Wordle game. The agent controlled it through a standard computer interface, the way a person would. They ran it over a week of daily Wordle puzzles, across several hundred runs. They watched its behavior to find where it failed.
How it went
The agent solved only 5.36% of runs. The main failure was that it recognized tile colors inconsistently, and its accuracy depended on the context.
