Wordle 792 3/6 🟨⬜⬜⬜🟩 90 ⬜⬜⬜🟩🟩 19 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 SLANT WORST QUEST No, this was the _best_ quest! It helped that a bunch of possible solutions ending in ST had already been used, GUEST, HEIST, EXIST, CHEST, and MIDST among them. I considered FEIST (1 2 3 4…😉 ) but it’s rarely used on its own. I missed seeing DEIST but fortunately that wasn’t the solution. I really think past solutions are starting to play too big a role in the game, though. They really need to end the moratorium on re-using past solutions. ---
