Wordle 1,195 5/6 ⬜⬜🟩⬜⬜ ⬜⬜🟩⬜⬜ ⬜⬜🟩⬜⬜ ⬜⬜🟩⬜🟨 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 READY (Vowel hunt!) MIAOU (Consonant hunt!) CLASP (Huh. Better make sure I don’t have multiple As) ABAFT (Well, I don’t. And it’s about time I found a second letter! That T can only go first. And it needs to be paired with an H) THANK (I ain’t even mad. They made me _work_ for this bogey) One thing I didn’t get is that after CLASP, Wordlebot said there were two possibilities left, and after ABAFT it said I didn’t eliminate either of them. I wonder what the other one was. ---
