> **Wordle 1,455 5/6\* 6/13/2025** > > ⬜🟩⬜🟨⬜ > ⬜🟩⬜⬜🟩 > 🟨🟩⬜⬜🟩 > 🟩🟩⬜🟨🟩 > 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 > > V **I** X_E_N β†’ That’s a pretty good (if vowel-heavy) start. I came up with a follow-up that was very unfortunate, duplicating one of the rare letters I had already done, which cost me down the road > S **I** EV **E** β†’ And SIEGE was _right there_. Duh. Anyway, there wer three more WoFcons, and I could check 'em all with > _L_ **I** TR **E** β†’ So picking up the L was nice. I thought about possibles and the first one I saw (after some long looking) was > **BI** B_L_ **E** β†’ Which was moderately productive, and led me immediately to > **BILGE** > BIBLE-BILGE club is open for new members today - three of us already. Scoredle’s second guess is full of awesomeness, leaving it with a tap-in birdie. Me, I’m just going to wonder why I saw fit to repeat one of those rare starting vowels of today… ---

Scoredle makes a really odd stab with its second guess, including a brand-new double letter, and ends up with a par.
