Wordle 1,245 5/6* 11/15/2024
UVULA → Not a great start, with only L gone out of WoFcons and a lot of vowels left to go. Thanks, repeated U! Time for a good first word second
STARE → Whew, not much better. N is still out there. I saw one word with it almost immediately, and since it tried another vowel, I was all in
TANGY → Which was a real stroke of luck, but now - TAFFY, TACKY, probalbly not TAMMY, oh - TABBY, not seeing much else, so its a trap but probably not fatal
TAFFY → Nope
TACKY
TATTY might have killed me, if it is indeed a valid word. Scoredle makes a good choice in the trap and finishes with a par.

YEAST (Nice beginning. I like ending with Y. xxxAY? Nah, TODAY is used. TAxxY? Time to roll the dice.)
TACKY (Aaaannd that’s the one!)

Pulled that one out of my butt!
We can’t know now, of course, but I checked Wardle’s original list to see if it was there. For the curious: Tatty is indeed in the original answer list, surprisingly.
I knew it had to be on the list of 14,855 words, because Scoredle said it should have been my guess at 2, but I was definitely going, “is that a real word??” It’s in my dictionary though - means shabby or frayed.

I went through every possible combination after three and this was the only one I found. I now realize that I missed VIGOR but it wouldn’t have changed anything.

I really expected there to be several possibilities after 2, but fortunately the solution was the only remaining possibility.
ETA: We’re closing in on 10,000, so we’ll probably start Part 3 by Tuesday.
