> **Wordle 1,067 4/6\* 5/21/2024** > > 🟨🟩⬜⬜⬜ > ⬜🟩⬜🟨🟨 > ⬜🟩🟩🟩🟩 > 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 > > _N_ **I** CER β†’ Not a bad start. Would like to try two comcons and an A, but fumbled around trying to find a word that doesn’t exist. But I did see one word that tickled my fancy and figured I’d give it a try and trust the B > B **I** S_ON_ β†’ No B. No S either, though that O is a nice pickup. I considered where to place the N, decided on the middle which forced the O to the end, then thought of L which brought me to > L **INGO** β†’ So close. It ate my baby! > **DINGO** > J was also a possibility. Scoredle has a tough time with NICER as the start word, running through several possibles to finish with a bogey, so my second guess getting the O was pretty lucky. ---
