> **Wordle 1,090 4/6\* 6/13/2024** > > ⬜⬜🟨⬜⬜ > 🟨🟨🟨⬜🟨 > 🟨🟨🟨🟨⬜ > 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 > > DE_T_ER β†’ Slow start. Hoped for one and only one E. Well, let’s try something with an A, two WoFcons, and another vowel. Hmmm… > _STA_I_N_ β†’ So now I’m basically playing Jumble. Let’s keep that ST pair together. ASTON? Proper noun. Or, with a Y, could be > _NAST_Y β†’ But not. Nothing placed yet! Frustrating. The permutations here got pretty hard to keep track of, so I started with putting the letters I know into alphabetical order, which let to AN?ST, which I saw as > **ANGST** > > Scoredle goes five from DETER, and takes as long to place the T as I do. The frustrating thing is that out of 22 possibles Scoredle shows after my second guess, only two were non-bogus - and I tried them in the wrong order. Alas. ---

And, I have three WoFcons out of the way, so don’t need to get too obsessive about checking them. Hence, > CH_A_R **T** β†’ Nothin’ doin’. I really need to try some vowels - not doing so with this last guess was a mistake, in retrospect - but I’m only seeing words that can get one for the moment > F_L_O_A_ **T** β†’ Missed on the vowel, hit on the L. One place left for the A, and I’ll get thie E as well - oh, this must be it > **VA** _L_E **T** β†’ This wasn’t it. So it’s a U… > **VAULT** > > Scoredle looks at me smugly, as it finishes in 3 from a start of ANGST. That T at the end from the start really threw me off - couldn’t see good guesses early. ---
