3. Yikes, I forgot about SHILL

That would have changed my strategy.

On my fourth guess I thought there were only 3 possibilities left so I just went with brute force.

6. Lol, that looks pretty close to the way mine played out as well

Last guess!

8. Exactly what happened to me for Wordle 232, my first fail when the answer was skill:

Wordle 232 X/6

⬜🟨⬜⬜⬜ biome
🟨⬜⬜⬜🟩 ideal
🟩⬜🟩🟩🟩 spill
🟩⬜🟩🟩🟩 still
🟩⬜🟩🟩🟩 swill
🟩⬜🟩🟩🟩 shill





Ironically, one of my tries for 232 was today's answer, and I was afraid to use it on the third try, so:


Wordle 245 4/6

🟩⬜⬜⬜⬜ stand
🟩⬜🟩⬜⬜ shire
🟩🟨🟩⬜⬜ slick
🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 swill

Since there was no E at the end of the word, I was pretty sure it would be a short I sound.

13. Three today

Wordle 245 3/6

🟩⬜⬜🟩⬜ STALE
🟩⬜🟩🟩🟩 SPILL
🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 SWILL

It helped that I'd just been reading a mask/vacc thread on my local wingnut-heavy NextDoor, so words like swill, drivel, hogwash, etc were at the forefront of my mind...

14. You would think on my B'day they could've given me a break!

Wordle 245 6/6



I had a SLIMY drink that I was careful not to SPILL, but it took all my SKILL to SWILL it in one gulp.

[Donkees]

16. 🎂 HAPPY BIRTHDAY! 🎉 Best Wishes for the year ahead 🥳

[Fla Dem]

20. Thanks Donkees?

15. I got it today

I used still by chance, and was on my way

19. 3 standard guesses -

CRAPE
DOILY
SHUNT

that gave me:

S*IL*

My 3 standard words eliminated shill, still,spill - so I was left with swill and skill. Not sure I had any reason for guessing swill instead of skill. But I got it in 4. I usually get it in 4 or 5 with those starting guesses.

21. My method: start with 'adieu' or 'audio'

I try to use them as they have the most vowels.
