Wordle 713 3/6 ⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛ ⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 PLANT SCORE HUMID Well this was a surprise. β€œScore” is my normal followup when nothing hits with plant. Then if score also hits nothing I would typically go with buggy, but thanks to yesterday’s 6 I decided that I wanted a new word for this situation. In a perfect world, this new word would check UIY, have two decent consonants, and have no repeated letters. I couldn’t find anything to fit the bill; the closest I could think up was humid. Lo and behold! ---
