Wordle 1445 4/6 ⬜⬜🟨🟨⬜ ⬜⬜⬜⬜⬜ 🟨⬜🟩⬜⬜ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 SLANT CHORE DUMPY ADMIN > [@psychobunny](#): > > Not a real word. Yeah, I’m pretty tolerant of the foibles of Wardle’s word list, but damn, this one’s pushing it. Especially when my only other choice after 3 was β€˜adman’ which if β€˜admin’ was a word, I could see β€˜adman’ as a run-on word for someone in the advertising business. So I had to ask myself, which bogus word was less bogus? At least I guessed right. ETA: Scoredle says ADMAN is on the list of 14,855 legit guesses. ---

More than ADMIN yes, but I confess I usually start my games in the most random way simply entering letters as the mood strikes me without trying for the best option, in this case I ended up with PURTY and was sure it was going to reject it, but it worked. ---
