> **Wordle 1,818 4/6\* 6/11/2026** > > ⬜⬜⬜⬜⬜ > 🟨🟨⬜⬜🟨 > 🟩🟩🟩🟩⬜ > 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 > > ALIGN β†’ Carryover whiff. On the plus side, I know exactly what word will cover the rest of my WoFcons and the next two vowels (though I almost said β€œROAST”, silly me!) > _ST_OR_E_ β†’ Great pickup! Can I place the consonants? I’m seeing a word right now that doubles up on each of them, so I’ll try it > **TEST** S β†’ Ooh, so close > **TESTY** > > It’s a little anticlimactic to see the four greens come up one by one and simultaneously realize you’re not going to get that fifth one - and know exactly which letter you should have gone with for the birdie. It’s scant comfort to know that that guess was 2/79 while the actual answer was 33rd in the same list. Scoredle also finishes with par, going with an anagram of my followup for its own and then missing out on a virtual 50-50 (plus three bogus words) for birdie. ---
