WORDLE 428 (***SPOILER THREAD***)

Once again, couldn't sleep, so I decided to take an early stab at it.

2. I'm up also, Wordle didn't help for long

Weirdly got it in two: route, waste. Don’t ask me how.

4. 4.

Wordle 428 4/6

⬛⬛🟨⬛🟩 CRANE
⬛🟩🟩🟩🟩 PASTE
🟨⬛🟨🟨🟨 THAWS (probing for taste, haste or waste)
🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 WASTE

If "thaws" had revealed nothing, the next guess would've been BASTE. Caste and paste were already eliminated by the first two attempts.

[William Seger]

8. I almost tried that same probing word

... but I hadn't eliminated CASTE, and I couldn't come up with a word that tested 4 of the 5 possibilities, so I decided the heck with it, just guess.

5. 3

Wordle 428 3/6

🟨🟨🟨⬜🟩 STALE
🟩⬜⬜🟨⬜ WIPED
🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 WASTE

I'm glad I spent guess #2 trying to figure out if it might be paste or waste rather than trying to find the solution in two. But a word like threw would have been better: I would have known if waste, taste or haste was the solution.

It wasn’t looking good in hard mode at TASTE. Too many *ASTE words left and all had was luck.

I forgot to use strategy, rather than 'guessing'. WordleBot suggested trying 'TOPIC' for the second choice ... OF COURSE! D'oh!

23. 2 Yesterday, 6 Today.

One of those that could have been many things:

🟨⬜🟨⬜⬜ TRAIL

And at the end I was torn between WASTE and BASTE.
