Wordle 1905 3/6 ⬜⬜⬜⬜⬜ ⬜⬜⬜⬜🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 SLANT CHORE BEIGE A lucky 3. The solution was the only word that was coming to mind in the night, and I figured at least it would tell me if the solution had an I or a second E, or a U if none of the above, plus maybe I’ll get a hit on one of the consonants. Scoredle afterwards showed a number of unused possibilities like FUDGE, FUGUE, EXUDE, so it was no GIMME. Lucky indeed. 🙂 ---

> **Wordle 1,905 5/6\* 9/6/2026** > > ⬜⬜⬜⬜⬜ > ⬜⬜⬜🟨⬜ > ⬜🟨🟨⬜🟩 > 🟨🟨🟩⬜🟩 > 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 > > SOUPY → Opening whiff. A, E and three WoFcons is my next move, which (in the absence of S) looks like > LAT_E_R → So that’s something. Now do I need to check another E or an I? And is there an N involved? I can cover both of those questions with > N_IE_C **E** → Two E’s _and_ one I, but no N. If R was still in play I’d have tried EERIE, but we also had it back in April, so no dice. As it was, I shuffled around the E and second I into various spots, and eventually tried a word that seemed bogus to me > _EB_ **I** K **E** → and also to Wordle, but, between hitting the B and placing the I, there was just one word left > **BEIGE** > > Followup was 19/2893, third guess 9/142 then an epic fail 6/6 for the par guess, followed by a tap-in bogey. Scoredle’s guesses for 3rd and 4th would have it end up with a par of its own, so my failure to par is pretty galling. From its own start, Scoredle works the elimination angle so well it has a tap-in for par. ---
