This was my favorite kind of Wordle. You back into a fourth guess and then really have to work at coming up with any word that will fit the pattern because, having made strategic guesses, you have used up all the common letters and most of the vowels. You close the app, take a walk, and come back to it. You imagine the board in your mind like Anya Taylor-Joy in The Queen’s Gambit moving pieces on her ceiling. But if / when it finally clicks, you have a very good chance that it is The word. 🥳
