Wordle 1,621 5/6 ⬜⬜🟨⬜⬜ ⬜⬜⬜🟨⬜ ⬜⬜🟨🟩⬜ ⬜🟩⬜🟩🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 TREND SCALP MELEE BOWEL HOVEL I don’t know whether to blame this Bogey on my Trendy new start; then Scalping out 4 vowels (O,I,U,Y) unasked; or just my inability to think of words. After Scalp I thought of 12 words (or 13 if the pretty girl I ogle is an Oglee) 9 of these were already used and Levee isn’t a Wardle word. Vowel was used a few days ago so I didn’t like Bowel. But it was poor tactic to waste a turn on TRIPLE-E. Then, only after the miss on Bowel did I hunt for overlooked words: Yokel (not a Wardle word) and Hovel. ---
