GIMPY β After 3, I still had the

Even though there turned out to be only one legit possibility after 3, it was quite the challenge to find it.

> S **E** NSE β At least I know there are no other Es. I stalled here for a while, looking for a word with another vowel and three comcons. Not finding one, but while listening to Fleming & John, it was only logical to try
> P **E** AR **L** β and hitting that L was nice. But now I got hung up on trying T, so I tried a bunch of words that I wasnβt sure were Wordle-eligible and ended up hitting enter on

> LIVER is the official word SunUp is rooting for tomorrow. Scoredle went for the todayβs solution after the second guess, though most of its possibles were just as bogus as the word I eventually tried there.

Another four, but Iβd say thatβs not bad after having nothing but an unplaced E after two!
