> [@SunUp](#): > > Now that is a _bad_ day with your irrigation system. LOL!! You’re so right! * * * Today made up for the last few days. A 2! Wordle 1,013 2/6\* β¬›β¬›πŸŸ¨β¬›πŸŸ¨ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 IRATE SPEAK WordleBot said this was an extremely lucky guess because there were 121 possible solutions after my opening word. But given that I almost always try to test β€˜S’ and β€˜P’ in my second try, as well as pair up β€˜EA’ when they show up as used letters in my first try, and lastly that I had already eliminated β€˜R’, it didn’t seem lucky to me. The only surprise was that SPEAK wasn’t an already-used word. ---

Scoredle went for LATER here, which I probably would have jumped on had I seen it, but I saw > _L_ **EA** _R_N β†’ first, and once you swap the L & R, there’s not much left but > **REALM** > > Though it took me a long time to see it, since M is bottom-left on that little keyboard thing that Wordle gives you. A fun morning birdie - the approach shot did most of the work, final guess was a tap-in. ---
