“Wordle,” a strangely compelling word game (Part 4)

[SunUp]

Wordle 1,935 3/6* 10/6/2026

MOCHA → Slow start, but nice to carryover a rare(r) consonant. Realy want some vowels here, so I’ll split the new letters 2-2 between vowels and WoFcons
LIMES → Hey, nice lucky guess. I don’t see any words of the form ?IMIL, but I do see a good one from ?IMLY, so
DIMLY

Followup was 4/351, so better than I thought. Its anagram was just before it in order, but would have left me with three yellows, so I got lucky on the one I picked. In the event, I was left with a true tap-in. Scoredle places the first found letter from the carryover with its followup, but makes no further progress, giving it 31 possibles to choose from on its third guess which at least leaves it with a tap-in par.

After 2, I saw a number of possibilities, but they’d all been used except GROPE. I really didn’t want to go with that, and I was hoping some NYT editor would say “maybe some other time (or maybe not), but definitely not now”, but one of the previous solutions was PROVE (Wordle 163, well within the reusable zone) so I went with that, an especially easy call since it had been two weeks since the last time a solution was reused.

Turned out I overlooked one prior solution (ERODE, Wordle 131) which it could just as easily have been. So I got lucky.

After I guessed PRIDE, I realized the next guess could be PRONE, PRUNE, PROBE or PROVE, so I entered NOBBY as a sleuth word to narrow it down. I get greedy and usually fall into these traps and regret it, and it proved successful, as I would’ve guessed PROVE last out of those words.

DIMLY → Whiff. A, E and three of the four remaining WoFcons, stat!
SNARE → Despite my word choice, I hope I haven’t encountered a trap. In retrospect, ROUTE would have been a good vowel-covering choice here, but I went with
TROPE → which, ahem, PROVEd to be the right option
PROVE

On that key third guess, there were 28 valid possibles. The one I guessed ended up with a 50-50 for par, while the one covering more vowels would have had a 1-in-6 shot, with double bogey possibilities, so I got lucky. Scoredle’s choice also would have gone 50-50. Scoredle’s choices from the start also end in a par on a 50-50 putt with very similar guess choices - we exchanged one pair of WoFcons between the second and third guesses. So perhaps I was a little more skillful than I thought!
