Wordle 1058 4/6 ⬜⬜⬜⬜🟨 524 ⬜⬜🟨🟨🟨 16 🟨🟨⬜🟩🟩 5 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 SLANT CHORE TOWER OUTER After 2, I was looking for a consonant-vowel alternation, which led me astray of course. So when I saw TOWER (and noted that VOTER had already been used, and disregarded TOKER, TOTER, TOYER, RETOX, ROGET, and PEROT), I jumped on it, and was totally sure that was the solution. WRONG!! So back to the drawing board. Starts with O, ends in ER, and the T can be in the second or third spot. Or **both** - I saw OTTER before I saw the solution, so I’m glad I kept on looking - but I know I was lucky not to get a 5. ---
