> **Wordle 1,514 3/6\* 8/11/2025** > > ⬜⬜⬜🟩⬜ > 🟩⬜⬜🟩⬜ > 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 > > MIN **T** Y β†’ That’s something to build on. And, it leads in well to a great first word second > **S** LA **T** E β†’ Two consonants placed but nary a vowel. There are two left - U and O, and I see a word right off the bat that exercises them both (and a not-bad consonant to boot) > **SOUTH** > > That went very quickly. Scoredle takes a detour through a bogus word and ends up with par. ---
