Nice find! I will totally add that to my list of follow-ups. I swear I stared at trome for several minutes willing it to be a word. I had already checked P so couldn’t use trope, and O in center position so I couldn’t use metro. Trone would have been the perfect second guess for me; I consider substituting N for M to be just as good.

Why did Google voice properly interpret the word trome? Is that actually a word? That would be even better than trone… (On further inspection, Google says it’s not an English word.)

Yay for 3s!!

TORSO → Only one O. Try the OR at the end (and tick off writers of the Queen’s English)? Sure.
LABOR → Wrong placement, but picked up an A. Keep trying OR…
AGORA → Placed all the letters. Must be…

I really should have seen the answer before the third guess.

I should mention that yesterday’s solution tripled the number of instances of the letter O in Wordle solutions since NYT took over curating the solutions.

They certainly were being rather stingy with the O’s all November! We may get barraged with them this month. :wink:

Felt good about both honey and dozen. Wordle got me good today, but “woken” strikes me as a little stilted for a wordle solution. Still, fair play.

And on preview, we may be starting up a monsoon of O’s.

Just a mini trap. It was either WOKEN or WOMEN so I could guess randomly. I am just waiting for everyone else to get it in three again.

WOKEN - more of a information word (TOKEN, WOVEN, DOZEN, OFTEN, etc.) Turns out to be the right word.
