> **Wordle 1,617 3/6\* 11/22/2025** > > ⬜⬜⬜⬜⬜ > ⬜⬜🟩⬜⬜ > 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 > > VOWEL → Whiff. Probably would have gone TRAIN here except that I was looking at the weather forecast, and so chose > RA **I** NY → Middle I, interesting. Thought about going with an S here, or something with a U, but decided the T (and some other consonants) was a higher priority > **THICK** > > So that last guess had eleven nonbogus possibles. I’m calling this as a lucky birdie. Scoredle gets a semilucky par on a 50-50 shot. ---

As it is, I whiffed. First word second time! > S_N_ARE → Well, that’s _something_. I looked for a word with T and the last three vowels, couldn’t find one, and settled on > _Y_O_U_ **N** G → Which looks like a ?UNNY trap, but there’s only so much that can go in there. I’ll try F first > F **UNNY** → Should have trusted the B. > **BUNNY** > FUNNY-BUNNY club is big today. Scoredle recommends the solution for my third guess, but then would have joined the club itself on guesses 4 & 5. On its own, the algorithm whiffs twice then gets only the last letter with its third guess, then hits the solution on a 1-in-6 putt for par - actually a better outcome than from its own start word, where it bogeys. ---
