Wordle 1,111 5/6 ⬜⬜⬜🟨🟨 ⬜⬜⬜⬜⬜ 🟨⬜⬜⬜🟩 ⬜🟩⬜⬜🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 SLATE CHOIR EVENT TEMPT DEBUT This was a frustrating one. I was going to go with Dumpy at guess #3…I’d have had this in 4 guesses. I didn’t see Debut, Tempt, or Kempt until after I went with Event (thinking it could be a theme word for 4th of July). It wasn’t a bad choice given there were four other double E words, and it ruled all of them out, but just wish I stuck with my trusty Dumpy. Oh well. ---

For the moment, I’m going to focus on WoFcons rather than try YOUNG (I’m glad that D is gone, or the ?OUND trap would be vicious). Here’s a word that uses three of them > _S_L **U** NG → With one WoFcon left, I can cover it with > **CRUSH** > > Scoredle has 47 (!) words left after my second guess, but so many of them have a terminal S, I’d give only three of them the status of non-bogus. The other two both started with USU, odly enough. ---
