Wordle 1008 3/6 🟨⬜⬜🟨⬜ 300 🟨⬜🟨🟨🟨 17 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 SLANT NOISE RISEN β†’ Not for another eight days yet! I was torn between NOISE and NORSE as my second word. (Neither would have been the solution; Norse is a proper noun, and Noise has already been used. As has Resin, btw.) I went with NOISE, but checking afterwards in Scoredle to see how NORSE would have worked, Scoredle told me it was an invalid guess. I have no idea why; it allows proper nouns as guesses. ---
