OTHER → Wow. Good start from yesterday’s answer…
THROW → R in 4th, what fits? Small village perhaps?
THORP → Darn, every rose has its
THORN

After that start, really should have been a 3.

I just picked up on this. I’d been hearing about it, but the first 2 attempts to download it saddled me with weird counterfeit games. Speaking of weird, the very first time I played I got one in 2. Looks like my average is closer to 4, but I’ve had a total of 3 twos.

Complaint: has THE most obnoxious ads of any game app I’ve played.

1592

It’s not on the app store. It’s just a website (Now it’s a nytimes website) Wordle - The New York Times

Anything off the app store will be some knockoff with annoying ads or worse.

Some unexpected letter positions. I burned a guess where I dropped a known letter to find an additional letter.

After two guesses I was down to two possibilities, both common. I picked wrong.

I got nothing but greens with every guess this time, but it still took me until the last guess to get it right.
