> **Wordle 1,144 3/6\* 8/6/2024** > > ⬜🟩⬜⬜⬜ > 🟨🟩⬜⬜🟨 > 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 > > E **N** SUE β†’ I was hoping for one-and-only-one E, but this is a start. I’d like to try two vowels here - A & I, so only two of the remaining three WoFcons, I see a prefix but I’ll try it > _I_ **N** TR_A_ β†’ Wordle loves those prefixes. L is still out there I’d like to try it. I see ?NAIL but SNAIL is out. Played around with GN- and KN- words for a while. Then moved A to front and thought ANIL?, then AN?IL, which led straight to > **ANVIL** > > Scoredle uses a similar second word to mine (O instead of A), but the delay caused by missing the letter makes it take four turns. It took me a few minutes, but it made for a fun birdie. ---
