> **Wordle 1,193 5/6\* 9/24/2024** > > ⬜⬜⬜🟨⬜ > 🟨🟨⬜⬜🟨 > ⬜⬜🟨🟨🟨 > 🟨🟩🟩⬜🟩 > 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 > > STE_A_M β†’ Smal scale start. Would like to try R, N & L along with an O, but I’m not seeing it. I’ll keep the O and try another consonants > _AD_OR_N_ β†’ Good guess on that try. If I put all thee known letters together at the end, i can try an L and another consonant, so > GL_AND_ β†’ That wasn’t it. DAN??, might need a Y here. > _D_ **AN** C **Y** β†’ Why didn’t I see CANDY? On the plus side, I eliminated DANDY, which makes the rest of this a lot less risky than otherwise. > **HANDY** > BANDY was still out there along with some bogus words. Scoredle makes a great play with a vowel hunt on 2, hits the trap at 3 and then gets a 1 in 3 guess to make par. ---

> **Wordle 1,194 4/6\* 9/25/2024** > > 🟨⬜⬜⬜⬜ > 🟩🟨⬜⬜🟨 > 🟩🟨🟨⬜🟩 > 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 > > _H_ANDY β†’ Slow start, but a WoFcon and two vowels gone isn’t bad. Two more of each coming up! > **T** _H_EI_R_ β†’ Not bad, but still vowel-deficient. I’ll try an O… and I see one that requires repeating the T, which isn’t too bad here, so > **T** _RO_T **H** β†’ Gotta swap O & R, TOR?H gives me > **TORCH** > > Beat Scoredle today, which despite getting the O with guess #2 finds the T rather late and scores a 5. My second guess was rather lucky, but fully justified IMHO, so I’ll take the par. ---
