SLART
NICHE
TOWER
VOTER

After my second word, I had a choice between TOWER, VOTER, ETHER, and a couple other less likely seeming words, including TOKER.

ETA: Man, the scores were all over the place on this one!

Wordle 645 3/6

PLANT
STONE
UNTIE

So focused on the vowels I didn’t notice that I replayed the yellow N in the same spot. On the plus side, unite has already been an answer, making untie an easy guess.

A fairly easy three for me.

ASIDE
COURT
UNTIE

The yellow I in the third position eliminated words like UNITE, QUITE, and UTILE.

From the prior thread:

That’s not necessarily so. There’s NOTER, like in the university/NCAA football powerhouse where George Gipp matriculated.

Pulled out the three despite stupidly re-using the N in the same (wrong) spot. Took me quite a while to see the solution, though.
