Or at least super hard mode rules; pretty sure the actual hard mode lets you reuse known bad letters. So anyway, after removing previous answers I came up with I think eight possible solutions. Drift was the sleuth word that would positively identify among the eight, except I messed up. It did not identify between buddy and muddy. In the end I just had to trust the B despite having seen muddy first. ---

Wordle 1,107 3/6 ⬜⬜⬜🟩🟩 ⬜⬜⬜🟩🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 READY MOODY BUDDY My first tossup was between MOODY and WINDY. WINDY had already been used, so MOODY won. I still had two vowels I hadn’t tried, so I looked to see if GIDDY and BUDDY were available. Only BUDDY was, so that decided me. And I beat the bot by two this time! ---

> **Wordle 1,107 4/6\* 6/30/2024** > > ⬜⬜🟨⬜⬜ > 🟩⬜⬜⬜⬜ > 🟩🟩⬜🟩⬜ > 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 > > ZE_B_RA β†’ Slow start. B is a nice pickup, but I was hoping for more from the more common letters. Let’s see, throw in two of the four remaining WoFcons with O & I, and we get > **B** OILS β†’ Uh, oh. U & Y the only vowels left. I could check them both with BUNNY - but there’s also BUDDY, BUMPY, maybe BUFFY, and possibly some others I can’t think of or don’t see. _It’s a TRAP_! OK, don’t panic. What word can cover the most possibles? After thinking for a while, I came up with > **BU** N **D** T β†’ which very nicely pointed the way to > **BUDDY** > > I thought I played that rather skillfully, but Scoredle says I should have tried BUNNY for that third guess. But then, Scoredle falls into the trap and doesn’t solve, both given my start word and starting from my third guess, so I think I officially beat the bot that time… ---
