A double since I was on a hike. > **Wordle 1,379 4/6\* 3/29/2025** > > ⬜⬜🟩🟨⬜ > 🟩⬜🟩⬜⬜ > 🟩⬜🟩🟨⬜ > 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 > > VE **R** _S_E β†’ Not bad, though one E might have been nice. I’ll try two vowels and another WoFcon - and the first word I see that fits those criteria is > **S** A **R** IN β†’ So, didn’t get much from it. L & T left from WoFcons; U, O & Y for vowels. I see a word with T & O, so I’ll try that > **S** T **R** _O_P β†’ At least I got the O. Figure it’s in second. Getting a double-R vibe here, so I’ll go with > **SORRY** > TORUS was the second guess for Scoredle, which was a lot more fruitful than my follow-up - the algorithm finishes with a birdie. > **Wordle 1,380 4/6\* 3/30/2025** > > ⬜🟨⬜⬜⬜ > 🟨⬜🟩⬜⬜ > ⬜⬜🟩🟩🟩 > 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 > > S_O_RRY β†’ Slow start. A & E and two more WoFcons. > _A_L **O** NE β†’ An A, and placed the O. There is one more WoFcon, and I obsessed until I found a word that uses it. > BI **OTA** β†’ Of course, that was the _wrong_ word with an -OTA ending… > **QUOTA** > > Scoredle guesses my second guess, and gets the answer on its third, but if I feed it my third answer, it goes for a different possible on its fourth! So Scoredle thinks I should have gotten a birdie, or a bogey, nothing in between. So I’m a little happy with that par. ETA: right there with you, @RTFirefly ! ---

Wordle 1381 3/6 ⬜⬜⬜⬜🟨 ⬜⬜🟩⬜⬜ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 SLANT CHORE BOOTY This was almost a do-over of yesterday, given my starting words. In fact, I found today’s solution while looking for yesterday’s before realizing it didn’t work, but today it was the only word that did work after 2. The hard part today was restraining myself from using a word like DUMPY on 3 to look for more consonants, since I was probably looking at a 5 if I guessed BOOTY and it was wrong. ---

A terminal E and one WoFcon is about all I can try with my normal process, so > WR **OT** E β†’ Probably either no more vowels, or a second O. I’m seeing one word that exercises another O, so I’ll give it a try > PH **OT** _O_ β†’ Aha. ?OOT?, betcha it ends in a Y, trust the B so > **BOOTY** > SOOTY was also out there, good thing I didn’t see it. There was also a Britishism for β€œsoccer” that wasn’t there either. Scoredle is remarkably to the point, doubles up on the known vowel on the second and finishes with a birdie. ---
