Wordle 1090 2/6 🟨⬜🟨🟨🟩 2 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 SLANT ANGST My first deuce in a month, and with a green and three yellows from my starting word, I’d have been kicking myself for anything less. The solution was a challenge to find anyway, because you just don’t look for 4 consonants in a row in a 5-letter word. For quite a while, the only possibility that I could come up with was CANST, which is way too archaic to be a solution: β€œcanst thou hie thee hence?” It turned out that that was the only other possibility Scoredle could come up with as well. ---
