About today’s Wordle, GUANO: When I toured Carlsbad Caverns I learned that they hauled a lot of the bat shit out from New Mexico over to California to fertilize our rich Central Valley which grows a lot of crops to feed the nation. That’s a lot of bat shit! ---

Wordle 646 5/6 🟨⬜⬜⬜⬜ ⬜🟨🟨⬜⬜ ⬜🟨⬜🟨🟨 🟨⬜🟨🟨⬜ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 ASIDE COURT BAYOU AFOUL GUANO I was so sure that BAYOU was correct. Word dot tips only gave me BAYOU and AFOUL. I decided to try AFOUL just to reorder some vowels. No greens yet. Then GUANO came to mind, but it’s not in word dot tips dictionary. ---

Wordle Bot tells me that the average score today was 4.0, so this seems to have been a relatively hard one. I also got a 99 for skill, which I’ll take. I now have access to Wordle Not because there was a crazy good offer for an β€œall-access” NYT subscription. I’ll enjoy it for a year, I guess. ---

(And sure enough, Scordle told me ALAMO was my best second guess.) It did in fact place the A for me, and then I took about a half hour trying to think of a \_\_A\_O word with none of the letters I’d eliminated. GUANO was the only real possibility left, but still a tough one. ---
