> **Wordle 1,386 4/6\* 4/5/2025** > > ⬜⬜⬜⬜⬜ > ⬜⬜🟩⬜⬜ > ⬜⬜🟩🟩⬜ > 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 > > KRILL → A not altogether unexpected whiff. S, T & N are left among the WoFcons, but I need too many vowels to try SATAN, so > NE **A** TS → _No_ WoFcons today. I’m going to shift gears a little and throw as many second-tier consonants at it as I can, to see what else I can pick up > CH **AM** P → That’s a little better, and amenable to a couple of vowels, via the word > **FOAMY** > MANES is Scoredle’s second word, and that initial letter gives it an easier par than I had. However, Scoredle really liked my last two guesses, so I have that going for me. Pretty fun day’s puzzle. ---

I want to try an I, but AIL?? goes nowhere, as does ??LIA. I thought of a few things and then slept on it here, woke up and saw > _L_ **IL** _A_C → which pretty much places the A by elimination, hence also the L, and then I saw > **VILLA** > GULAG, KULAK, CULPA and VULVA (hah-no way will _that_ be an NYT solution) were, apart from my third and fourth guesses, the closest things to non-bogus words after two, per Scoredle. Scoredle also finishes in four, as my second guess turned out to be better, in the event, than what it tried.
