Wordle 1562 4/6 ⬜⬜⬜⬜⬜ ⬜⬜🟩⬜🟨 🟨⬜🟩⬜⬜ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 SLANT CHORE EMOJI GOOEY This one was _hard_, and I’m happy to have escaped with a 4. After 2, I thought of EPOXY, but that had been used, but at least it made me think of EMOJI. Which I was surprised wasn’t the solution, because WTF else was still out there? Really nothing besides the solution, but it wasn’t easy to find. ---
