Wordle 489 3/6
SLANT
CHORE
GROVE
After guess 2, I saw BROKE and DROVE before GROVE, and then I thought about the past tense in Wordle: it doesn’t show up much. So I eyeballed the nearly 500 solutions so far, and there seemed to be exactly zero instances of a verb that was five letters both in the present and past tenses showing up in the past tense. There were a couple of oddballs like UNMET and UNFED, and there was FOUND, and that was about it for the past tense here. So that’s why I went with GROVE over DROVE and BROKE. (Also it would have eliminated one of the other two, but so would DROVE.)
