Well, these 3s are getting just plain boring! 😉 Wordle 812 3/6\* ⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛ 🟨🟨⬛🟨⬛ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 IRATE CLOUD LUCKY LUCKY immediately sprang to mind when I hit those 3 letters. Afterward, WordleBot advised that LUNCH, MULCH, GULCH and SCULL were also potentials. I never knew, since for once I was impulsive. > [@psychobunny](#): > > I call it skill. Funny thing. Me, too. 😃 ---

Wordle 812 4/6 ⬛⬛🟦⬛⬛ ⬛🟧⬛⬛🟦 ⬛🟧🟦🟦⬛ 🟧🟧🟧🟧🟧 ROUSE TUNIC MULCH LUCKY No, I wasn’t borrowing @SunUp’s strategy; ROUSE just happened to be next up in the rotation. I was one day away from an ace, dammit! Not so LUCKY after all. As for today, a fairly mundane par. I was thinking about a terminal Y, but decided to try the CH first, costing me a possible birdie. Them’s the breaks. ---
