Wordle 1361 3/6 ⬜⬜🟩⬜🟨 71 🟩🟩🟩⬜⬜ 10 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 SLANT TRAMP TRACK After 1, I had a shot at the 2, vacillating between my 2nd and 3rd guesses. After 1, I went looking for possible solutions, and I found 18 good ones, and a few dubious ones. But of the 18, 13 had already been used, leaving just ORATE, PRATE, TOADY, TRACK, and TRAMP. Went with TRAMP at 2 because the P would distinguish between ORATE and PRATE, which TRACK wouldn’t have, and guarantee a 3. Such is life. ---
