> **Wordle 783 3/6\* 8/11/2023** > > 🟨⬜⬜⬜⬜ > ⬜🟨⬜⬜🟨 > 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 > > _E_MPTY β†’ Appropriate guess, for the yield. May be one more vowel, I’ll try the silent E on the end > S_H_AR_E_ β†’ Another vowel? I’d like to try HELEN, but Wordle won’t take it (It’s the SI unit of beauty, for Pete’s sake!) and it may not be wise to try two Ls here but what the heck > **HELLO** > > 49 words for my last guess, per Scoredle. I reckon that as lucky. ---
