With three WoFcons left, I’ll try two of them and an E, and since Wordle wouldn’t take NORSE, I was left with > S_O_ **R** EL β†’ Which hopefully was productive due to elimination. But here I hit a wall, came back and looked at it five minutes later and decided to try > B_A_ **RO** N β†’ Although I should have seen the B was already tried, on my first guess - augh! At least getting the A and placing the O was the coup that allowed me to see > **ARROW** > > That’s two in a row that I wasted a guess on due to missing something obvious. Maybe I need to take a break… no, it’s an obsession! Scoredle also finished in four, and seems to be telling me something with its second guess (MORON). ---
