Wordle 686 5/6 🟨🟨⬜⬜⬜ ⬜⬜🟨🟨🟨 ⬜⬜🟨🟨🟩 🟩⬜⬜🟩🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 RATIO SHARE CLEAR AMBER ANGER Had to work for this one. Should probably have guessed ANGER at four. After four I had ANGER, AUGER, and ADDER and went through all the letters and couldn’t find anything else. ANGER was the most likely and also would distinguish between the other two. ---
