Yesterday’s results in case anyone is interested: **Wordle 740 5/6** ⬜⬜⬜⬜🟨 ⬜⬜⬜🟨🟩 ⬜🟩⬜🟩🟩 🟩🟩⬜🟩🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 SLATE CHOIR FIBER DIVER DINER I know I don’t need to blur that now - feels weird leaving it unhidden - lol. There were a lot of words this could have been after my second guess, lucky to have chosen the correct letter, albeit the wrong word. My beloved laptop went belly up…troubleshooted all day yesterday to no avail. So I had to play on a different device, which means I lost all of my stats. 😢 (mostly crying due to losing my laptop and lots of files I hadn’t saved in a while). * * * * * * **Wordle 741 4/6** 🟩⬜🟨🟨⬜ ⬜⬜⬜⬜🟨 🟩🟩🟩🟩⬜ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 SLATE CHOIR STRAY STRAW Lost the coin toss, but fine with a 4. It was a good month overall…I think\* I ended up with a few more 3’s this month than the 4’s, which hasn’t happened in a long while. \*I kept track of everything in an Excel sheet on my now deceased laptop, including previous answers…have to start over again with all of that. ---
