I can finish off the WoFcons and try both A and a second E with > **E** ASEL β†’ Which was no help. OK, a word with no WoFcons. Probably should have thought two different vowels here, but I played a hunch that there would be at least one O with > **E** B **O** OK β†’ I thought first about ways to put a U after that O, gave up, and saw a word quickly when I considered I and so tried > **EMOJI** > > Followup was 4/103, third guess was 7/11 (how convenient!), and the fourth guess was a 50-50 putt witn only consonants (or I might have seen it)! Both Scoredle and I get the β€œsea of green” achievement; the algorithm’s third guess may have identified Josh Wardle’s favorite editor. Not bad for a 5th birthday party! ---
