Wordle 1773 3/6 ⬜⬜⬜⬜⬜ ⬜⬜⬜🟨🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 SLANT CHORE EERIE Could’ve been unused EYRIE or PUREE, or any of nearly 20 already-used possibilities. > [@puzzlegal](#): > > Huh. I just use the share button and post from my phone. But i guess i mostly post from my phone. I don’t think I’ve ever posted to the Dope from my phone. Too much typing on that tiny keyboard for me. If I think a text is going to go more than a couple dozen words, I’m likely to send it in an email from my computer and just text the recipient that I’ve emailed them. I’ll almost never send something from my phone that’s anywhere near as long as this paragraph, for instance. ---

> [@RTFirefly](#): > > I don’t think I’ve ever posted to the Dope from my phone. Too much typing on that tiny keyboard for me. I do most everything on my phone. I rarely use my laptop these days. Like @puzzlegal I too use the Share button from the Wordle game on a browser. With the swipe-to-type feature, typing lengthy messages / posts isn’t too bad. But there are frequent typos so I need to proofread carefully. Sometimes I’ll draft my message in a Notes app, then C&P from that. ---
