> **Wordle 1,695 3/6\* 2/8/2026** > > 🟨⬜🟨⬜⬜ > ⬜🟨🟩🟩⬜ > 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 > > _B_L_E_AT → That unexpected B is nice. And one vowel and two WoFcons eliminated. Maybe this is my slumpbuster. I wonder if I have a repeated E here, though those are usually third and fourth. Still, worth a shot to place the E, so > R_E_ **BE** L → Too late I realized I didn’t have an L, but somehow I think it was still worth it! E?BE?, looks like > **EMBED** > EBBED was also possible. Feels good to be back under par. Scoredle also birdies, with 22 possibles to choose from on its final guess but the same pair of valid words as I had. ---
