WHOSE → Two vowel eliminations and one placed WoFcon. I suppose that’s not too bad, though I can’t see a way to get two vowels and two WoFcons with the next guess. I’ll just have to trust the B

ARTSY was also possible, and I might have gone for it had I seen it. It turns out my second guess was better than Scoredle’s, which went for vowels and didn’t have the WoFcon data to select between its two best choices for a birdie. Lucky day for me.

To date, that hasn’t been a Wordle yet.

PATSY

Sweet! Wordle said there were only three words to choose from with this opening word: ANTSY, ARTSY, and PATSY.

YEAST (Nice. I’m sensing an eagle.)
PATSY (Well, that was easy!)

2253

True. The ‘I suppose’ is more about whether it was on Wardle’s original list, and whether the NYT would let a rather insulting term like that be a solution. I’m somewhat doubtful about the first, and extremely doubtful about the latter.

Agreed. I doubt Wardle had that on his list for his girlfriend.
