> **Wordle 1,418 3/6\* 5/7/2025** > > ⬜⬜⬜⬜⬜ > ⬜🟨⬜🟨⬜ > 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 > > SUITE β†’ Whiff. Well. Three vowels down the tubes. If I can try two more, with the remaining WoFcons… yes, Wordle allows > L_O_R_A_N β†’ which seems a bit odd (proper name & acronym), but I’ll take it. Wow, no WoFcons. And can’t be ?OA?? or ??OA?, so POACH and CHOAD are out. ?A?O? goes nowhere with WoFcons out. Saw NACHO for a second which led me to > **MACHO** > > Very lucky guess - Scoredle shows 52 possibles after two, with at least ten being nonbogus to my eyes. Scoredle finishes with a par, after narrowing it down to 2 with its third guess. ---
