EARTH
SINGE
NOVEL
NEEDY

After guess 3 it was clear that a beginning with “NE” was likely; there just aren’t that many five-letter words that exclude the already-excluded letters.

If I’d tried BLOWY as my 3rd I would have had a more pleasing green pyramid.

I think we’re all bozos on this bus.

Worldle 432 2/6

SLANT
CLOWN

My first word narrowed things down way more than it looked at first glance, AFAICT, I was down to the _LOWN mini-trap. But BLOWN was a previous solution, so I had a 50-50 chance of that sweet 2.

CRANE
LINTS - so it starts with C, ends in N has an L and no A, E or I.
CLOWN - I think the only other possible word is COLON

NEEDY → Took up two letter guess slots to find out there’s no E.
SNOUT → SNAIL would have been a better guess, on reflection, but OK.
GROAN → I’m pretty sure that’s not an I between those letters.
BLOWN → Trap! But… I think I’m save. F or C?
FLOWN → Darn, wrong one.
CLOWN

I always hate to take a 6, but that one could have gotten ugly, so I’m OK with it.

I see CLOCK and CLOMP, but unless WordleBot includes words like CLOGS and CLODS (which it shouldn’t if it’s got half a brain), I’m mystified about the others.
