**Wordle 714 4/6** ⬜⬜🟨⬜⬜ ⬜⬜⬜⬜⬜ ⬜🟩⬜🟩⬜ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 SLATE CHOIR FAUNA NANNY I didn’t post yesterday…got it in 4, and with today’s 4 I’m on a 7-day streak of 4’s. First time I think I’ve ever done that (with any number of guesses). Can’t complain mind you…looks like this one was a bit of a troublesome word for many, understandably so with the triple N. I just got lucky with Fauna…Nanny was the only word I could see from there with the letters I had already eliminated. ---

Wordle 715 2/6\* ⬜⬜⬜🟨⬜ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 Woohoo! I don’t remember the last time I had a 2! LIMBO BEAST I was tired of going with LEAST, STEAL, CRATE etc Something told me LIMBO and I thought nah, not likely, let’s stay with LEAST, but then again why not? Then when only the B showed up yellow, OK, let’s go with BEAST, as a test word, never expecting that it was the answer!
