I’m another lucky one.

IRATE
STOCK
STOMP

I knew there were more choices (WordleBot advised there were 6. I’d only come up with 4.), but today’s solution is a favorite word so I went with it first. Lucky indeed!

COATI
THOSE
STOMP

There were many, many possibilities for my third guess. The plan was to use STOMP to verify the positions of the S and T, then test for more consonants. Didn’t need to!
Quite the lucky three, I must say.

5185

Another three for tomorrow’s. Well done me.

STERN

…“STAMP” having been ruled out by guess #2, this turned out to be a fairly fast par.

Literacy doth extract a price!!!

Tomorrow’s Wordle, Today
I think Wordle might be a little mad. Just a little bit.

@Aspenglow can you put spoiler blur on TriPolar’s Game #405 post that is revealing the answer word (a few posts above mine). Yikes. So much for tomorrow’s game.
