Wordle 1571 2/6 ⬜🟨⬜🟨⬜ 98 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 SLANT NYLON I think the whole ‘badges’ thing is silly - _Badges? We don’t need no steenkin’ badges!_ - but the FTFNYT giving out a ‘badge’ for each 2 you get is silly even in that context, because each individual 2 is largely a matter of luck. This one very much included, but I’ll take it! 🙂 ---

> **Wordle 1,571 3/6\* 10/7/2025** > > ⬜⬜⬜⬜⬜ > 🟩🟨⬜🟨🟨 > 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 > > AMUSE → Whiff. Do I go with WoFcons or vowels for the second guess? With three vowels gone, I’ll try to knock the rest out here, and add two WoFcons. I couldn’t think of any words, so tried a few words and the first one Wordle actually took was > **N** _O_I_LY_ → Which I instantly saw as > **NYLON** > > Lucky guess - it was the only word left. Scoredle also makes a birdie, with what looks like a one-in-three putt after checking two vowels with its second guess. More than one way to skin a cat. ---
