Each day for the past three years, I’ve updated my spreadsheet with the day’s Wordle solution, a solution that the game has shared with me each day. If the game itself is going to provide me with information about the game, I’m gonna use it.

Now I’ve got the Village People’s “Macho Man” going through my head.
Luckily didn’t see MOCHA; don’t ask me how! HAVOC had already been used.

Interesting that 1 Across in today’s crossword is also MACHO. I swear these people are looking over each other’s shoulders when they are making their puzzles.

SUITE → Whiff. Well. Three vowels down the tubes. If I can try two more, with the remaining WoFcons… yes, Wordle allows
LORAN → which seems a bit odd (proper name & acronym), but I’ll take it. Wow, no WoFcons. And can’t be ?OA?? or ??OA?, so POACH and CHOAD are out. ?A?O? goes nowhere with WoFcons out. Saw NACHO for a second which led me to
MACHO
Very lucky guess - Scoredle shows 52 possibles after two, with at least ten being nonbogus to my eyes. Scoredle finishes with a par, after narrowing it down to 2 with its third guess.

The O had to go at the end, and with WoFcons gone it was either MACHO or MAMBO. I saw one of them first.
