> **Wordle 1,940 4/6\* 10/11/2026** > > ⬜🟨⬜🟨⬜ > 🟩🟨⬜⬜⬜ > 🟩🟩⬜🟩🟩 > 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 > > B_U_M_P_Y β†’ A bit unexpected. I played around with various combinations of a vowel and two of the five remaining WoFcons, and eventually spotted > **U** _P_SET β†’ which turned out to be a good play, as it left only two spots for the P, and after noodling around for a few guesses I got Wordle to bite on > **UN** L **AP** β†’ Which, after I verified only left one letter that could go in that spot, led directly to > **UNCAP** > > For my followup out of 155 possibles, Scoredle preferred the anagram at 18 over the word I actually used at 69, but it turned out the latter was a better guess. My next guess was 4/7, then a true tap-in. Scoredle’s followup alos cuts down to 7 words, then also a true tap-in, so I was pretty much right along with the algorithm today. ---
