So getting back to starting words, since LEAST was the Wordle the other day, while I still had my other two words BOUND, PRIVY which have not been Wordles yet, I decided to find 3 more words. Starting with this list of frequency of letters, **SEAROILTNUDCYPMHGBKFWVZXJQ** I’ll try going with these 3. βž™ STEAK β€” ROILNUDCYPMHGBFWVZXJQ remain βž™ COLIN β€” RUDYPMHGBFWVZXJQ remain βž™ UPDRY β€” MHGBFWVZXJQ remain None of these have been Wordles yet. So it’ll be STEAK COLIN and UPDRY for now. ---

Scoredle has a very unlucky game; it never even finds the single vowel until the fifth guess, but does finally sink a double bogey. ---
