**Wordle 369 4/6** ⬜⬜⬜⬜⬜ ⬜⬜⬜⬜⬜ ⬜🟩🟩🟩⬜ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 CHASE POUTY WRING BRINK I wasn’t sure if Pouty would be a valid word, but it goes with the theme of the Wordle words these days πŸ˜†. Really, I was just checking the commons, but striiiike two. Though it wasn’t so bad, as that left only one vowel to play…I actually thought of playing Brink before Wring, but changed my mind. So 4 it is again then (been on a roll with 4’s lately).
