I’ll try an A for vowel, but should I try two WoFcons and an O, or three WoFcons? I’ll go the latter > **C** LAST β†’ And, that was a bad choice. Two vowels next, and the last WoFcon > **CRO** UP β†’ This seems a little trappish. Double up on the O? > **CRO** OK β†’ Nope. I seems futile. CRONY already out. Two guesses left for pairs of consonants, so > **CROWD** > COAST would have been a better second guess in retrospect. Wordle pulls out its equivalent on the second guess after HENCE, and therefore finishes in four. ---
