> **Wordle 1,933 4/6\* 10/4/2026** > > ⬜⬜⬜⬜⬜ > ⬜⬜⬜🟨⬜ > 🟩⬜🟩⬜⬜ > 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 > > PEEVE β†’ Two wasted Es. Hope that doesn’t come back to haunt me. Need both WoFcon and vowels; I could go ROAST but I think I’ll tilt slightly toward the vowels instead right now > ROY_A_L β†’ Well, that’s something. Could try a placement play with SAUNA, but I’d like to finish the WoFcons and the I is a bit more important than the U, so instead I’ll go with > **S** T **A** IN β†’ Good choice to KO the T, else it would have been hanging over me. Don’t see many places for another vowel, so I’ll try > **SHACK** > SMACK would have been a better choice, as it would have avoided a possible six - still, didn’t was to fall victim to analysis paralysis. Scorede would have preferred the third guess I considered and rejected - indeed, my actual third guess wasn’t in the top 120, although two of its anagrams were in the top 5 (how does that happen?) Scoredle takes a bogey; it spends its third guess on placing the consonant it found with the second, then just misses the solution (which was 3/52) with its par putt, settling for a five. ---
