> **Wordle 866 4/6\* 11/2/2023** > > 🟨⬜🟨⬜⬜ > 🟨⬜⬜🟩🟨 > 🟩🟩⬜🟩🟨 > 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 > > _N_O_I_SE β†’ Good start. Let’s try an A with a couple more comcons > _T_RA **I** _N_ β†’ One outta three ain’t bad. Plus, the I is placed, which means we probably need another vowel, so figure on something with a U. First thing to come to mind is > **UN** F **I** _T_ β†’ which I should have ruminated on a bit longer, cause I could have gotten the L in play, though I probably would have tried UNLIT first, so > **UNTIL** > > Scoredle wanted me to try MINIM after my first guess, which seems insane given that I don’t even know if I have _one_ M yet, much less two. Though, placing the I would have helped, so I guess that’s the rationale. ---
