Just had to mention that IVORY was the solution to Wordle #59. So now EBONY and IVORY live together in perfect harmony on the list of past Wordle solutions. ---

> **Wordle 1,049 4/6\* 5/3/2024** > > ⬜⬜⬜⬜🟨 > ⬜⬜🟨🟩⬜ > ⬜🟨⬜🟩🟩 > 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 > > SLIC_E_ β†’ Slow start. What’s more, I can’t see a word of three comcons and two vowels, one of which is E. So I’ll try the E smack dab in the middle and fill in com- and less-than-com-cons around it > TR_E_ **N** D β†’ Good job with the N! And it eliminated another possible place for the E. I still feel vowel-light here, so I’ll try two of them with the next guess > M_E_A **NY** β†’ Good luck on the Y (though I should have doped out that it had to be that)! E placed by process of elimination. E??NY, time to trust the B > **EBONY** > When I finished, I thought β€œMaybe IVORY tomorrow?” But thanks to **RTFirefly** I know my best case is probably MOODY. I considered what Scoredle picked for my third guess, but I think my third guess made my final guess easier in the end. Fun par. ---
