I don’t know how this reply got submitted, but as long as I’m here I’ll edit it to announce that this was my 50th eagle.

“There were 3 possibilities for your last guess:
cruel urbex yrneh”
yrneh?
urbex?
What the heck is yrneh? That looks like “Henry” spelled backwards. But Scoredle seems to think that’s a Wordle word.

Could’ve possibly been CREEL, which is a basket that anglers put their caught fish in. (Had to look that up, but I knew it had something to do with fishing.)
It surely is a Wordle word, not as a possible solution, but as one of the words on Josh Wardle’s original list of 14,855 legit guesses.

DUSKY → Interesting. I tried to think of words with a vowel and three WoFcons, didn’t see any such, then tried two WoFcons and a G (in case of LAUGH or COUGH)
GAUNT → Came up empty, but at least placed that U. So then I tried to throw together two vowels and the last two WoFcons, both of which could have been very important in case of a lone U
ROULE → So the E’s gotta go 4th, and it seems rather

BLUER was also possible, and seems a valid word, so a 50-50 par. My third guess was 12/70, so not too bad, but I wish I had seen Scoredle’s second guess, which might have meant a birdie. On Scoredle’s turn, it makes that great second guess, then blows a 50-50 birdie putt to also make par.

Woot! Been a long time since a two. Wordlebot was a bit huffy about it.
Some information from the New Times Games Newsletter.
Hey, Wordlers! We have some exciting news to share. Starting on Monday, we will begin adding previously run words back into play. There are still many first-time answers to debut, but also more chances for Wordle in ones and those magical, serendipitous moments when Wordle overlaps with real life. Happy solving!

Lots of twos today! I’m happy with my three from a tough start word.
This is pretty big news! But I kind of wish they’d just done it quietly without fanfare. I mean, they’ve never officially said that they won’t repeat words until now. Reactions would have been entertaining.
