Wordle 1394 3/6 ⬜🟨🟨⬜⬜ ⬜🟨⬜⬜⬜ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 SLANT CHORE LAUGH Looks like the solution was the only real possibility after 2, with the possible exception of HALAL, which I’d think would be a bit too obscure. Of course, I thought that about KRILL the other day, and we know how that turned out. ---

I’ve been using CHOIR for my first word for a long time. Has it been shown what the absolute best opening words are? Also, has CHOIR been the word yet? I have some memory of getting it in one guess before, but I don’t remember if it was CHOIR or something else I did that day. ---

I thought about trying the A, but ended up putting the two remaining WoFcons at higher priority, hence > C_L_O_U_T β†’ Not a lot of words start or end with U, so try the middle. (Yes, Aussies, I know ULURU, but that’s excluded by the unplaced L, and a proper noun). So, ??U?? and one L, need to try A, could be ?AU?? which strongly suggests > **LAUGH** > FAULT is Scoredle’s second guess, which is a great one - leaves only the answer (and one bogus word). Scordle shows 18 possibles after my second guess, but they’re all bogus except for the answer and UVULA. ---
