Wordle 1,958 4/6* 10/29/2026
GRIST → Three WoFcons down, two have hit, so I feel like I need to focus on vowels rather than WoFcons right now. A & E and… let’s see, L gives us
LATER → No help on discovery, but placed both letters. Could be ROTOR or MOTOR, but I feel like I need to check U first
TUTOR → Y’know, I could have checked U second and avoided a possible bogey. (Though I might have missed enumerating a word, too!) OK, try the M
MOTOR
Turns out I did not miss enumerating a word in the endgame, so a birdie was in my grasp (and par a worst-case scenario) if I had played correctly. Lady luck was with me, though. I also had a skillful followup (5/223) so I’m not altogether unhappy with my play. Scoredle, with a followup that differs from mine only in the initial, converts the birdie putt. Nice day for that start word!

MOTOR
This one was kinda interesting. After 2, the unused possibilities were down to ROTOR, TUMOR, and (iffy) TORII. FORTY, MOTOR, TURBO, and TUTOR had already been used, but MOTOR was the Wordle #111 solution, well within the reusable zone. And it had been ten days since the last recycled solution, which are running at about 10% of solutions since reuse began, so that gave a reason to consider MOTOR on a par with ROTOR and TUMOR. And any of the three, if a wrong guess on 3, would identify which of the other two (or TORII as well) was the solution, so no reason to choose one over the others there. So I went back and forth among the three for awhile before finally (and luckily) choosing MOTOR.

STARE — today I actually played stare not spare

Oops, my usual first guess has lately been STARE, but from Monday through Thursday I’ve been writing SPARE in my posts.
This started Monday for Wordle 1,955 5/6 (GEEKY), when I believe I actually played SPARE, not STARE.
It became an error on Tuesday when I’m pretty sure my actual Wordle play was STARE. The error then propagated for Wed & Thu because I copy and paste my Wordle plays from a note on my phone.
This is a long-running note where I’ve been logging my Wordle plays. This is also why sometimes in my posts I’ve written an incorrect date — the error was in the note on my phone (a copy and paste error in my note as I log the next day’s Wordle play), and then pasted the wrong date from my note to here. Some of you have caught that error.
Checking my note, I’ve been logging my Wordle plays since Wordle 1,246 4/6 (VISOR), whenever that was. Does anyone have the date for that? I started dating my posts almost two years ago, on 2024-12-05 when the Wordle was ENDOW. From my note:
Wordle 1,265 4/6, 2024-12-05 (ENDOW)
STARE
DOILY
PUNCH
ENDOW
This week, on Wednesday for Wordle 1,957 4/6 (GRIST), my post clearly shows the error ➜ “Wordle,” a strangely compelling word game (Part 4) - #904 by Bullitt ◆. I clearly played STARE but I posted SPARE here. The error is clear from the words and the Wordle color blocks that I posted in this thread.
Mea culpa. Sorry guys. I’ll try to keep it squared away from here on out!

Fell right into their evil little trap. At least I got my 64th Sea of Greens. Yippee.
My spreadsheet has Wordle 1291, LEMUR, on 12/31/2024. Counting back 26 days, that confirms that Wordle 1265, ENDOW, was on 12/5/24, and counting another 19 days back, Wordle 1246, VISOR, would have been on 11/16/2024.

MOTOR → Whiff, and a wasted O. Good followup opportunity now, though.
LEANS → Let me try a placement play on the E, here… both S and L seem unlikely to be repeated.
SLEEP → So the E is implicitly placed as terminal. I in the middle, I guess, so C, D (not M), any others? Doesn’t look like there are, so I have a 50-50 shot at a par
SLICE → I hope a bogey is now a sure thing

Step by step to the solve. My followup was 109/4315 (and an anagram of Scoredle’s top choice), then 5/45, 2/4 and the solution with 1/2 (with one bogus possible). Scoredle gets par on a 50-50 shot, so basically equivalent to but a bit luckier than mine for today.
