Wordle 1,024 5/6 ⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛ ⬛⬛⬛🟨🟨 🟨🟨⬛⬛⬛ ⬛🟩🟩🟩🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 PLANT SCORE DEIFY GREED BREED One of the rare occasions where I had to break hard mode rules, which I am loath to do. That left me with a coin toss between greed and breed, and whenever I have a coin toss between B and G my rule is to go for G first. That rule didn’t work out so well this time. ---

I’ve been busy, so didn’t post yesterday. Here’s yesterday’s results: Wordle 1,023 3/6\* 🟨⬛🟨⬛⬛ 🟨⬛⬛🟨⬛ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 IRATE ASPIC VOILA Pure luck. I was letter testing and was frankly surprised that the word was even accepted. But that’s ok, because today made up for yesterday’s bit of luck! Wordle 1,024 5/6\* ⬛🟩⬛⬛🟨 ⬛🟩🟩⬛⬛ ⬛🟩🟩🟩🟩 ⬛🟩🟩🟩🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 IRATE WRECK FREED GREED BREED This one was annoying, because I saw the trap with my third try and of the 3 words I found, even though it was the first one I found, I thought BREED was the least Wordle-ey of the bunch. Wrong. ---
