Wordle 1,937 4/6* 10/8/2026

PROVE → There are times I think that two common and repeatable letters found unplaced is the worst possible Wordle start, because it restricts you at most 15 subsequent letter guesses while you are trying to place the letters you’ve already found. In this case, there’s at least a common prefix I can try, even if it isn’t a prefix in the word I’m guessing
RENAL → Not much help there. I, U & Y of the vowels, T & S of the WoFcons, I can exercise one of the former and both of the latter with
TIRES → S?RET is unproductive, so STRE? with the P already gone looks like it must be
STREW

Par was a tap-in, after a followup out of the top 120 and third guess of 27/156. Scoredle goes all-out to place the initial consonant with its followup, placing the vowel as a side effect, then makes a little progress and subsequently falls into the second-letter trap, finishing with a tap-in double bogey (so in no danger of a loss from the fourth guess on).

STREW

Kind of a risk to double up on the already-placed E. But Scordle made the same choice, and although there was no second E, BERET narrowed my choices to two, of which STREW was the first I saw. (THREW was the other.)
