> **Wordle 1,718 3/6\* 3/3/2026** > > ⬜🟨🟨⬜🟨 > 🟩🟩⬜🟩⬜ > 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 > > S_LI_M_E_ β†’ OK, that’s a good start - now move everyone over one, add two WoFcons and try again > **LI** T **E** R β†’ That went remarkably well, except for the two WoFcons part. But, there is one WoFcon left - LINED? Or, since I’ve been lucky so far, use the remaining WoFcon twice? > **LINEN** > > Short and sweet. My start word brought me down to 83 possibles, and my guess was a mediocre 39/83, but it was sufficiently lucky to point me to answer (which Scoredle also would have played for its third). Scoredle takes a slight detour and finishes with a par. ---
