Wordle 1186 3/6 ⬜⬜🟩⬜🟩 42 ⬜⬜🟩⬜🟩 13 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 SLANT DRAFT BEAUT This was a fun one. After my starting word, with the third and fifth letters set, I figured the fourth letter was a C,F,I,P,R, or U. So then I went through and thought of words that could end with each of those 3-letter combos. I came up with 13 of them, and checking with Scoredle afterwards, I only missed two, which made me feel good, and both of which had been previous solutions so no harm, no foul. The used words list was the real story here: of those 13 possible solutions I came up with, nine had already been used, leaving me DRAFT, GRAFT, ABAFT (I didn’t really think this sailing term would be a solution, but listed it for completeness’ sake), and BEAUT, which I didn’t really think would be the solution, but based on past experience, would be exactly the sort of slang word that Wardle would have on his list (and piss Ellis off for sure). I really thought DRAFT would be the solution, so I had high hopes for a 2, but its fail eliminated all the other possibilities but BEAUT, and sure enough, that was it. ---

Not many consonants could go between the A & T here… but wait, there’s one vowel it could be > **BEAUT** > > A little slangy.
