Wordle 677 3/6\* ⬜⬜⬜⬜🟨 🟨🟨🟨⬜⬜ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 STEAL OILER LOGIC Grrr! I know that a 3 is a respectable score today (WordleBot says that the average is 3.7) but I’m very annoyed that I second-guessed myself out of a 2. LOGIC was the 1st word I thought of that had an L and 2 vowels that weren’t A and E, but I thought I should try OILER first, as a sleuth word with the more common R. ---

Wordle 678 3/6 β¬›β¬›πŸŸ¨β¬›β¬› πŸŸ¨πŸŸ¨πŸŸ¨β¬›β¬› 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 PLANT RACES CIRCA This was super difficult, to the point I started wondering if I was actually going to solve it. After 2 I immediately saw a cigar, but that’s already been an answer. Couldn’t see anything else so left it to come back later. When I came back I struggled but finally saw croak, but again that’s already been an answer. Couldn’t see anything else so left again to come back later. This, my third effort, started to feel fruitless because I just didn’t see anything. Eventually I saw circa, but I spent way too much time on this puzzle. All told probably over an hour, not counting time in between. ---
