Wordle 1,747 4/6 ⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛ 🟦⬛⬛⬛⬛ ⬛🟧⬛⬛🟧 🟧🟧🟧🟧🟧 CRASH INTEL WIMPY FIZZY I CRASHed out on my first word, and didn’t gather much INTEL with the second. Was my approach too WIMPY? FIZZY was calculated to guarantee a bogey, but because of one word I missed, a six was still possible. I was thrilled and surprised to sink my chip shot for par. ---
