> **Wordle 1,414 3/6\* 5/3/2025** > > ⬜⬜⬜🟩⬜ > ⬜⬜🟨🟩🟨 > 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 > > WHO **S** E β†’ Two vowel eliminations and one placed WoFcon. I suppose that’s not too bad, though I can’t see a way to get two vowels and two WoFcons with the next guess. I’ll just have to trust the B > BL_A_ **S** _T_ β†’ > **PATSY** > ARTSY was also possible, and I might have gone for it had I seen it. It turns out my second guess was better than Scoredle’s, which went for vowels and didn’t have the WoFcon data to select between its two best choices for a birdie. Lucky day for me. ---

> [@Bullitt](#): > > To date, that hasn’t been a Wordle yet. True. The β€˜I suppose’ is more about whether it was on Wardle’s original list, and whether the NYT would let a rather insulting term like that be a solution. I’m somewhat doubtful about the first, and extremely doubtful about the latter. ---
