Wordle 1,950 4/6* 10/21/2026

WREST → One vowel in, three WoFcons down - let’s go vowel-heavy for the next guess. Oh, and the last two WoFcons, too.
LEANY → Not what I would consider the most valid word, but it got the job done. Hmm, looks a bit trappy. I can check another vowel with
PEONY → Oh, it was much simpler than that
PENNY

Followup out of the top 120, but left only nine possibles. Most had the repeat; there were two that threw in the alternate vowel, and one of those was my third guess - but it meant a tap-in par, which avoided the several (largely slangy) possibles that constituted a potential trap. Scoredle’s followup is built to place the starting letter, but gives no other information - but the algorithm bores right in on the answer, finishing with a birdie (out of 132 possibles, over 20 of them valid).

Lucky opener; only 7 valid follow-ups. I chose a good one for a tap-in birdie.
