> **Wordle 1,770 5/6\* 4/24/2026** > > ⬜⬜⬜⬜⬜ > ⬜⬜⬜⬜🟨 > ⬜🟩🟩⬜🟨 > ⬜🟩🟩🟩⬜ > 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 > > TWEET β†’ A not-unexpected whiff, what with only three unique letters in the carryover. O, A and three of the four remaining WoFcons could be SONAR or > SOLA_R_ β†’ and I thought for a second I was going to double-whiff. OK, there’s one more WoFcon, I still don’t have a vowel yet, so I’ll try the we-letters and N, RUIN- catches my eye and though RUINY isn’t a word, there is one I can see > B **RU** I_N_ β†’ I just bought an electric car, so what I see here mostly is FRUNK, because that N can go nowhere else, but I don’t think that’s a valid solution word and I end up going with > P **RUN** Y β†’ and only now, for some reason, I see it > **DRUNK** > > Kind of a bad puzzle on my part. My followup was nowhere on Scoredle’s list, third guess was a mediocre 60/140, and avoiding the final letter lost me a chance for par, with only one word (the guess) eliminated! Scoredle does much better - it plays the elimination game with only one yellow on the followup, two non-vowel greens on the third but the solution was the only valid word thereafter, a virtual tap-in. ---
