Wordle 1560 5/6 ⬜🟨🟨⬜⬜ ⬜⬜⬜⬜⬜ 🟩⬜⬜⬜🟩 🟩🟩⬜🟩🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 SLANT CHORE DUMPY DAILY DALLY After 3, I was down to 2 possibilities. Sometimes you choose the wrong one. C’est la vie. I really need a better second word in this particular situation, when I get yellow LA from my starting word. I tried LARCH for awhile, but it didn’t really seem to do any better than my all-purpose second word, CHORE. It comes up often enough that it’s worth some thought. ---

ENJOY STRAY DAILY DALLY The random generator gave me a tough start word today. Thought I was going to whiff, but the terminal Y was a stroke of luck. I almost went with DAISY at two, but I’m not mad. That wouldn’t have guaranteed a birdie anyway; DADDY and DAFFY would have been on the table, and there’s no telling which I might have chosen. Maybe even both on the way to a bogie. So it’s all good.
