Wordle 803 3/6 β¬›β¬›πŸŸ§β¬›πŸŸ§ β¬›β¬›β¬›πŸŸ¦β¬› 🟧🟧🟧🟧🟧 NOISE CLART BRIDE Well, that was quite a ride! First of all, _again_ with the β€”I-E! I was in this exact same situation three days ago with WRITE, when I started with OPINE. _Deja vu!_ So again, I wrote out a _long_ list of words and counted up the letters. In this case, C,L,R, and T were the most frequent. And I wanted A in case of ALIVE or ALIKE. Hmmm… is CLART a word? Apparently, if you’re a Scotsman describing a clump of dirt on your shoe, it is. And it wiped away a lot of words for me. So then B and D were the most common of the the remaining words, and a little luck came my way as well. A very fun three! ---
