Wordle 1,611 3/6 ⬜🟨⬜⬜🟨 ⬜⬜⬜🟨⬜ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 SLATE BROWN WIELD Round might seem to be a much better sleuth than Brown: U,D are more common than B,W. But I had the same start on #1602 and picked Brown after considerable cogitation then. Who am I going to trust if not myself? After #2 I thought of five possibilities but Jewel, Wheel, Whelp and Dwell were on the Already-used list. ---

> [@pjd](#): > > Those are yesterday’s words ! So they are! Whenever I post in this thread, it’s a copy and paste from the Notes app on my phone. I’d pasted into Notes the green and yellow and black squares that I got, but with yesterday’s words (instead of typing in the spoiler tags) that I was then going to replace with today’s words. But it was late at night (3:30am) and I was tired. And I forgot. Must’ve been dozing off. Brain fart. Here’s my 5, @pjd .
