With the ‘E’ eliminated from last and first positions, the ‘KN’ combination came pretty quickly to mind. I found KNEES, KNEED and KNEEL right away. Siince Wordle doesn’t do plural or past tense words, KNEEL seemed the right choice. WordleBot advises that KNELL, UNFED and UNWED were also options – but I didn’t think of them, fortunately.

After 2 I saw incel first. I thought to myself no, that can’t possibly be it. Please don’t let it be that. I considered hopping on the computer to search the answer file in my program to see if incel is actually in the valid answer list. But then I saw kneel and was all “Phew!”

Wordlebot gave me a 99 for skill on this one too.

I figured there was a consonant before the N, and I looked at SN with -EL ending for a long time. Finally I thought of the KN combo. :roll_eyes:

Should not have let N go unguessed for so long, but couldn’t get it into a good word earlier. Going strong for vowels hurt me here.

Too many possibilities to go for it in three. WHUMP turned out to be the right sleuth word.

NEWEL was risky, but I couldn’t see anything with I or U. It paid off, letting me know there was a second E.

1327

Just checked. Incel is a valid guess but not a valid answer, if anyone was wondering.

1328

I hate to be a pain in the neck about this, but we’re all used to clicking on the blurred stuff once we’ve done the day’s Wordle. So if you’re going to give information about what words are or aren’t on the list of solutions, please do a bit more to flag them as possible spoilers of FUTURE Wordles.

Now I already pretty much knew whether the word @EllisDee mentioned was or wasn’t an eventual Wordle solution. So AFAIAC, no harm, no foul this time. But that won’t always be the case.

1329

I’m confused. Isn’t the unblurred text crystal clear about what is being blurred? It’s letting you know that if you click the blur, you will see a word that is a valid guess but not a valid answer. What more information is there to give?

EDIT: I think I figured out what you mean. I shouldn’t have left so much unblurred, as it gives away what I was trying to hide. Better would have been something like: (Assume I used the same quote box.)

Just checked whether incel is in the answer list. If you’re curious, it is a valid guess but not a valid answer.

If that’s what you meant I should have done, fair point and agreed.
