Wordle 556 4/6
ANISE
MOUNT
BONGO
CONDO
I stared at MOUNT for a long time wondering what to do next. Finally decided there had to be a repeated O, and my placement was fortunate. Not a bad par.
I’m perfectly fine with CONDO as a word, but I’m surprised CONGO was an accepted guess (see Morgyn’s solve), as it’s a proper noun.
Well! Another three. Took me long enough, though.

IRATE
CLOUD
CONDO
I worked out CONDO quite quick after my second try, but I spent a long time trying every other letter combination before accepting it really was the only guess remaining. Which WordleBot confirmed after the fact. No complaints!

CONDO
Like others here, I dislike ‘condo’ as an option. It seems to open up the prospect of all sorts of slang abbreviations.
I’m also surprised that CONGO was acceptable. Apparently it’s been applied somewhere to mean something other than a place-name…but what?

It’s extremely rare that I don’t check either M or P, but luckily it didn’t hurt me.

JUDGE → I was hoping for the E but got the D instead. Oh well…try two more vowels with S & T
STAID → Nada. Well. Gotta be an O in there. Try two? LOONY, or…
DROOL → Two Os. And I need to split them up. OD??O? Naw. ?O?DO, haven’t tried an N yet, probably isn’t BONDO, so…
CONDO
Kinda lucky I tried for both Os, got them but with neither placed. Not much left on the last guess.

COUNT
CONDO
I was sure it’d be Count. I agree with others on the usage of slang abbreviations - they never were used before, and I purposely didn’t go with condo, or comfy, combo, and convo for that very reason. Though condo certainly is widely accepted as an “actual word”, whereas the others are pretty much truly slang.
At least now we know she is using those types of words, so we can add them to the choices - it makes things a bit more challenging though, but that isn’t always a bad thing.

IMPEL
I’m pretty surprised at myself for coming up with this one so quickly, but that was the first word that popped into my head with all three of those letters and no other vowels or common consonants.

I was just testing letter placement and trying to eliminate common consonants. And there it was! Very lucky today. The coffee’s not only still hot, but the mug is full!
From a two to a five. Sheesh.

The other option was INTEL, which I figured would raise even more eyebrows than CONDO yesterday, so the choice was clear.
CONDO → At, um, least there’s plenty for the next guess…
LEAST → Swap the E & L, and try an I?
ELFIN → I worked, but still nothing placed. Need to try the R…
MILER → Must end in -EL. ?IMEL goes nowhere… would try SPIEL if I had the S still available, but that brings the P to mind, so
IMPEL
I was worried after the third guess, but with the M it fell into place.
