I’d have been looking for something with an L anyway, but once he saw that, I was hooked. Scoredle solves in three, believe it or not, guessing my third and fifth guesses for its second and third, respectively. I don’t know if a web page can really look smug, but I’m getting that vibe from it. ---

Doh! So I’ve been waiting for wordle 1047 to finally log in / create a user account that hopefully keeps my stats. I feel like it’s going to reset them, but I figured I’d wait till an even 100 games since my 700th game was #947. Except it wasn’t #947. It was #921. I posted my totals in a post that ended in post number 47. I say again: Doh! Ah well. Looks like I’ll finally log in tomorrow and see if my stats reset or not. I’m almost positive they will. ---

> **Wordle 1,047 4/6\* 5/1/2024** > > ⬜🟨⬜⬜⬜ > 🟨🟩⬜⬜⬜ > 🟩🟩🟨⬜🟩 > 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 > > P_R_OWL β†’ Slow start. I’d be tempted to go PARER here to try to find the R, just to be contrary. But, I’ll go with my usual strategy of comcons plus vowels - two of the latter, cause I only eliminated one with that first guess > _R_ **I** SEN β†’ Good thing I didn’t try RESIN (which is to RISEN as SLATE is to STALE, now that I think of it). Where should the R go? Still have T to check, as well as A, but I can’t see one that does both, so I’ll check Y instead > **DI** _R_T **Y** β†’ Ah, should have checked A _and_ Y… > **DIARY** > > The quest for the R made that a little frustrating. Scoredle also takes 4 from PROWL; but through a very different path.
