Wordle 1044 4/6 ⬜⬜⬜🟩⬜ 210 ⬜🟩⬜🟩⬜ 13 🟩🟩⬜🟩🟩 1 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 SLANT GRIND PRONE PRUNE Out-clevered myself this morning. My usual second word, CHORE, would have narrowed it down to just the solution. But I noticed that there were a limited number of possible last letters, given what I had after my starting word, so I decided to attack that. Wound up with two possibilities for my third guess, and lost the coin toss that it shouldn’t have come down to in the first place. ---

> **Wordle 1,044 4/6\* 4/28/2024** > > ⬜⬜🟨⬜⬜ > ⬜⬜🟨🟨⬜ > ⬜🟩⬜🟩🟩 > 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 > > GL_E_AM β†’ Slow start. Should try three comcons and another vowel. Double up on the E to try to place it? Seems early. OK, here’s a word > TI_NE_S β†’ Thought of RINSE right after trying this. Not much progress, but I’ll move the NE over and try again. If I try O as my vowel, and an R, I can see (β€˜C’?) > C **R** O **NE** β†’ There’s gotta be a vowel between the R & N, and it pretty much must be a U, so that leaves > **PRUNE** > An old woman eating dried plums with a polished fork? I guess it has some potential as a Wordle story. Scoredle actually tries the β€œrepeat an unplaced letter” trick and ends up worse than how I finished. ---
