> **Wordle 1,332 5/6\* 2/10/2025** > > ⬜🟩⬜⬜⬜ > ⬜🟩⬜⬜⬜ > ⬜🟩⬜⬜🟨 > 🟨🟩⬜🟨⬜ > 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 > > B **O** NUS → Is there a word with E or A and the other three WoFcons? Yes, there is (two, I think, actually) > R **O** TAL → But no progress. Time to try E and a mix of consonants > C **O** WE_D_ → Got a D unplaced. I’m getting nervous. U and I are still out there among the vowels, and I have an opportunity to try G & H so > _D_ **O** U_G_H → Good call on the G. Maybe its a double O, and that one forgotten vowel > **GOODY** > > Scoredle also takes five from my start (an impressive 3 from its own start, after a whiff!) Scoredle also suggests the same word after my first and second guesses, and it’s kinda humiliating to think that my second guess really didn’t change my best next guess at all. ---

You used two vowels in your first word. You didn’t need to recheck the second one. ---
