That at least gave me the P though, and sealed the deal for getting it in 3, which I’m totally good with. ---

Wordle 802 4/6 ⬜⬜🟨⬜⬜ 1,217 ⬜⬜🟨⬜⬜ 58 🟨🟩⬜⬜⬜ 1 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 CHORE SLANT DUMPY AUDIO Switched my first two words since my usual starter wasn’t getting many hits lately. As you can see, it did _so_ much good. I have two different third words if I’m still fishing for letters. The other one is GIMPY, which would have narrowed things down almost as much (OUIJA would have been the only real alternative), but it would have made finding the potential solutions a lot harder. So I made the right choice there. Happy to get the par today. ---
