MAUVE
AVIAN
VOILA

I love it when I hit uncommon consonants. This is why I keep words like MAUVE in the rotation.
I really liked my second word too, as it placed both the A and the V, plus an I to boot. Et VOILA, there was only one possibility left, foreign as it may be.

6745

I’m laughing at those funny guesses! @BobLibDem too, :smile:

6746

Technically, no. It’s a borrowed word. In subtitling, we italicize foreign words, but not ones that are common in English. Capice? Bon voyage! Avenue, boulevard…

But, yes, it’s a dick move by Wordle.

VOILA → Whiff. Makes my choice for the next word easy, though - last pair of common vowels and three comcons
TRUES → Not bad. Perhaps time to double up that E? and try the last comcon, so
GREEN → Not many consonants left, so
GREED → Aggggh. Was trusing the B, but my sleepy fingers hit G again.
BREED

I should have waited until tonight to Wordle. Perhaps better luck with clouds today?
