> **Wordle 1,357 4/6\* 3/7/2025** > > ⬜⬜⬜🟨🟨 > 🟩🟨🟨⬜⬜ > 🟩🟩🟩⬜⬜ > 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 > > ALE_RT_ β†’ That’s not bad. Really, it’s a pretty good start word. But I need a vowel hunt follow-up, and throw in either N or S… I’ll try S for > **T** _OR_US β†’ Some day it’s gonna be TORUS, and if it’s a whiff I’ll have to try BAGEL for my second guess. Or DONUT if I hit on the vowels. Anyway, I got hung up looking for an N here and hit enter on > **TRO** NK β†’ which was really stupid, but it at least got me looking for the answer which pretty much had to be > **TROOP** > TROMP and TROTH were also out there, but the latter seems pretty archaic. Scoredle takes it in three, which I had a shot at if I hadn’t been so OCD about my process. ---
