RANGY → Good guess. Not much left…

Scoredle said I should have tried RAZOR with my third guess, but RANGY left me with just one possibility left, so lucky guess, I guess.

I didn’t even see Ranch…I forgot to check the A for some weird reason. :roll_eyes: I would have totally played that over the other two words. Oh well…a 4 isn’t bad, but I could have done a lot better on this one.

I accidentally looked at the solution on this thread at 1 AM, but by the time I played late tonight I’d forgotten all about it, and it took me forever.
And WordleBot didn’t think much of my 3rd guess:
“RANDO? Impressive vocabulary! Your guess eliminated one of the two remaining words, but, despite being a valid guess, RANDOisn’t one of the words I think will be a solution based on what I’ve learned from playing Wordle. But you’ve narrowed it down to one possible solution. You should solve the puzzle on your next turn.”
But if HATER and other words that players upthread have called bogus are valid, why not RANDO?

Thought for sure I had it on my third guess; I couldn’t see what else it could be. Had to rack my brains for another word when #3 wasn’t it.
