> **Wordle 1,015 5/6\* 3/30/2024** > > 🟨🟨⬜⬜⬜ > ⬜⬜🟨🟨🟩 > ⬜🟩🟩⬜🟩 > 🟩🟩🟩⬜🟩 > 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 > > _RE_ALM → OK, good start. Try two more comcons, add an O for a vowel hunt, shake jumble-style and try > SN_OR_ **E** → Good luck on the O, and a placed E is nice. T is still out there, and I can see one word that tries it > T **OR** T **E** → In retrospect, should have tried FORTE, covering yet another consonant. For a second here, I was thinking GORGE, but an aversion to another repeat-letter debacle caused me to look around and try > **FOR** G **E** → which pretty much… well… forced me into the answer > **FORCE** > > So, I really screwed up that third guess, but if I had gone with my retrospective instinct, I probably still would have ended up with a bogey. Scoredle, OTOH, lucks into the first letter on the second guess by going on a search to place the E, and ends up with a good coin flip for a par. ---
