Forgot to hit the “reply” button yesterday! Wordle 1,960 3/6 ⬛⬛🟦⬛🟦 🟧🟦⬛⬛🟦 🟧🟧🟧🟧🟧 GLORY YOUTH YAHOO It’s like a little 3-word story about YOLO or FOMO or something… Nice to get a Y and know it’s not at the end. Follow-up left only the solution, though I was confused for a minute or two. Fun one! Wordle 1,961 6/6 ⬛⬛⬛🟦🟦 ⬛⬛⬛🟧🟧 ⬛🟧⬛🟧🟧 ⬛⬛⬛🟦⬛ ⬛🟦⬛🟦⬛ 🟧🟧🟧🟧🟧 SCORE LATER MINER DWARF GRAPH VIPER Third and fourth words were very bad choices, which painted me into a corner at five. I would have deserved a fail, but got lucky at the end. PIPER and RIPER, as well as the less likely PIKER, were still available. Phew indeed. ---
