Wordle 728 4/6\* ⬜⬜🟨⬜⬜ 🟩🟩⬜🟨⬜ 🟩🟩🟩⬜⬜ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 LEAST RAINY RANDO RANCH I accidentally looked at the solution on this thread at 1 AM, but by the time I played late tonight I’d forgotten all about it, and it took me forever. And WordleBot didn’t think much of my 3rd guess: β€œRANDO? Impressive vocabulary! Your guess eliminated one of the two remaining words, but, despite being a valid guess, RANDOisn’t one of the words I think will be a solution based on what I’ve learned from playing Wordle. But you’ve narrowed it down to one possible solution. You should solve the puzzle on your next turn.” But if HATER and other words that players upthread have called bogus are valid, why not RANDO? ---
