"Wordle," a strangely compelling word game (Part 2)

The Game Room
2141

Too late for ETA:

_ENNY would have been a major trap if names had been eligible!
BENNY, DENNY, (867-5309) JENNY, and (You bastards! You killed) KENNY, in addition to PENNY.

BARGE → Sets up one of my favorite second guesses perfectly.
HEIST → Didn’t get much out of it - unplaced vowel, some good eliminations. Still have L & N to try…
LINED → Good one with the D! Only see one word left…
FIEND

Pretty fun. Scoredle thinks I had a really lucky third guess - from 117 possible words down to 2.

I’m back home in California now, so no more first posts of the day from me.

I was fortunate to land the D right off the bat. Sometimes a less-common consonant pays off!
RADIO had historically been my least effective starting word (tied with PATIO). Today’s three improved its average from 4.64 to 4.5.
