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.

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

Yeah, no, hate to say it but I’m with WordleBot on this one. That reference is so obscure, it can’t be considered Wordle-worthy. (Anyway, I didn’t think of it.)

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.
