No idea !
Maybe the date/time on your gadget is screwed ?
Or you forgot ! Should be on 1429 for you by now !

No. 1429 is not out for another 50 minutes.
But yes appears I did 1428 last night…getting old sucks.

FIFTH → Whiff. Next?
LOANS → I’m glad I didn’t go with LEANS - not sure why it didn’t occur to me. Would like to try that E, though, and I see one word that can do it
GNOME → Oops, should have tried the R sooner as it turns out.
GROWN

My mistakes didn’t cost me today - they were a plus. So that par could have been a lot worse. Scoredle makes a good 1 out of 3 guess for par, which saved it from the first-letter trap.

Could’ve also been DROWN; BROWN, FROWN, and GROIN had already been used.

Yesterday was a busy day from morning on, and somehow Wordle got lost in the shuffle. And then when I woke up at 1:30 a.m. and thought about starting today’s Wordle, it hit me that I hadn’t done yesterday’s. So I pulled the changing-time-zones trick to put me on Pacific rather than Eastern time so I still had an hour and a half to do it, and not break my streak just due to forgetfulness. And so:

Could’ve also been WIDTH; PITHY had been used.

I always start with “crown”, followed usually by “faked, light, bumps”. Sometimes varying if it seems prudent. I like the fact that the arrangement makes syntactical sense if not actual sense. I did play the day “crown” was the answer, so that was nice.

I really wanted to try CIVIL second but my brain said check for more vowels and better consonants. I would have ended up with the three either way.

I did 1,428 but forgot to post it.
