Wordle 1545 2/6 ⬜⬜🟩⬜⬜ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 SLANT CHAIR Boy howdy, was that ever lucky! Just for the hell of it, I decided to open my dictionary, compare with my spreadsheet of past solutions, and see what CHA-- words were left, since I like to check for the C,H, and R on my second word if I don’t know enough about the solution to go straight at it. Now Scoredle says there are 256 possibilities after my starting word, and I figure maybe 1/3 of those are real words, and by this point, something more than half of those 80-90 β€˜real’ words have been used. And most of those remaining won’t start with CHA. In fact, only three seemed to be left: CHAFF, CHAIR, and CHARY. The last two check for C,H, and R, and CHAIR being the more common word, I went with it, and watched it turn green. πŸ™‚ ---
