> **Wordle 1,093 3/6\* 6/16/2024** > > ⬜🟩⬜⬜🟩 > ⬜🟩⬜⬜🟩 > 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 > > P **R** OU **D** → So, is this a good start, or a trap? At least I’ve knocked out two vowels; wanting to try two more is an obvious play > T **R** EA **D** → So there’s an I in there? Well. Pretty much has to be in the middle, ergo an consonant before D, and N is still out there, which would give us > **GRIND** > > Scoredle finishes in four because it sees the [BCFGT]REED trap that I missed. If it had been one of those words, I estimate a 60% chance of a loss for me - so, a very lucky break to get a birdie. ---

**Monday, June 17th** Wordle 1,094 3/6 🟩⬛⬛⬛⬛ 🟩🟩🟨⬛⬛ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 PLANT PROSE PRIOR Nice bounce back from yesterday’s disastrous 5. After 2 I immediately saw and discarded primo, thinking oh Lord please don’t make me guess primo. Very shortly after I saw prior and was relieved. Then I checked the previous answers list and prior was still available but the kicker is that primo has already been an answer. I kind of vaguely recall that being an answer but still didn’t expect it would be on the answer list. ---
