> [@Sherrerd](#): > > Kind of surprised TUNIC hasn’t yet been a solution. Look at it this way: this was Wordle #673. There are slightly over 2300 words in the list of solutions, I’m told. So we’re not even 30% of the way through the list. So even the most blatantly, obviously common five-letter word has a better than 70% chance of not having yet been a solution. ---

I had the first, second and last letters and was slightly concerned about the final word since I play it with my aunt and mother. I spoiled it in case it counts as a slight clue to the final word. ---

Wordle 674 3/6\* ⬜⬜🟨⬜⬜ ⬜🟩⬜🟨🟨 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 I have had an annoying long run of 4’s, so I’ll happily take this 3. And it was a particularly nice 3 at that. Scoredle 3/6\* 14,855 ⬜⬜🟨⬜⬜ ARISE (532) ⬜🟩⬜🟨🟨 PIVOT (6) 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 DITTO I thought my second guess was a weak one, but it turned out to be perfect. The remaining choices were “ditto, nitto, dicto, tinto, litho, timbo” of which only one is a reasonable Wordle word. Of course, I didn’t know that until I finally spotted the one word that worked. When I see Scordle always doing better than me, it’s reassuring to see the occasional one like today where Scoredle still took 4 guesses even though it knows all of the dumb Wordle words like “timbo” ---
