I guess if you’re going to start reusing words, you might as well start at Wordle #0.

Also, 1689 was the year the Glorious Revolution in England was completed. In a sense, this 1689th puzzle is a revolution and new era of Wordle.

SPINY → Slow start. Two more WoFcons, plus E & A and that one I, and I mixed them around until I found a bogus word that works
TELIA → But doesn’t exactly work well. Still, I’d like to try an R in there, and I used a similar strategy again to find a word (very rap, as it turns out)
CARDI → Turns out the C was the most important part, as it forces CI and the A must go 3rd or 4th; If I try 4th, R must go last and it looks like

I probably should have gotten that for a birdie, though Scoredle rates my third guess 23/80, better than the solution at 57/80. My guess gives a tap-in par once the one bogus possible is discounted. Scoredle’s solution is interesting, it goes to place the initially found letter with its second guess, succeeds, but then selects the wrong possible out of four (three valid) and ends up with a 50-50 putt for par (which it sinks) - so it was a bit closer to the edge than I.
So, which words were #2, #3, and so forth?

What a mess I made of this one. Played it too fast, and then made a dumb mistake at four. I survived in spite of myself.
Somehow my streak got reset to 1 today, though I haven’t missed any days. I’m mildly annoyed, as I’d finally gotten it back over 100 since my last fail.
The solutions to the first ten Wordles:
| 0 | CIGAR |
|---|---|
| 1 | REBUT |
| 2 | SISSY |
| 3 | HUMPH |
| 4 | AWAKE |
| 5 | BLUSH |
| 6 | FOCAL |
| 7 | EVADE |
| 8 | NAVAL |
| 9 | SERVE |
Actually, today’s is the 1690th Wordle puzzle. The first Wordle was #0.
As one of my math professors at the University of South Carolina, the late Dr. George McNulty, used to say, “Zero is a counting number.”
Thank you!
Surely they won’t go in order! Hopefully, not even in order except for interleaving the remaining unused words.

Bummer! My max streak is 267 and I’m approaching that number now (I’m currently at 264). If my streak were to get reset, I’d be wildly annoyed.

Not bad, getting a 3 after blanking on the starting word. 
With the H being yellow in the 2-spot, I figured it had to be a -PH or -GH ending, and I saw the solution pretty quickly. I was surprised to see it was pretty much the only viable possibility. (I’d bet ‘HEIGH’ as in ‘heigh-ho, heigh-ho, it’s off to work we go’ isn’t on the solutions list.)
Today’s solution isn’t a previous solution, fwiw.

I think going back to the first Wordle on the day they started recycling answers was a sort of Groundhog Day joke.
