Wordle 1697 3/6 🟩⬜⬜🟩⬜ ⬜⬜⬜🟨⬜ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 SLANT PIKEY SCENE Could’ve also been SHONE, or (past solution) SCONE. But after eight new solutions in a row since CIGAR, they clearly aren’t yet mixing in previous solutions on any sort of random basis. I’ve continued to play as if nothing’s changed from before, and will let myself be surprised when they get around to re-using another previous solution. ---

The key second guess was 15/184, so pretty good even if there had been a different word. Scoredle’s second guess, however, leaves it with a tap-in birdie. Humbling. ---
