/PUDGY
Tactics for today’s Wordle: Used CHOIR as the second word than the one in the triad (RHINO). At this point there are 15 possible solutions. Needed to deploy EnotE© strategy. Picked one of the possibilities (GODLY) as the elimination word. it did the job.

Wordle #777 (August 5, 2023) – NY Times WordleBot score: 3.9 – Triad: SLATE/RHINO
/PUDGY
Tactics for today’s Wordle: Since the seed word revealed 2 vowels, didn’t use the 2nd word of the triad. A majority of the Wordle words contain only 2 vowels. After the second word only 3 possibilities – ANODE, NAÏVE and ANIME. Chose ANODE based on frequency of use. Luckily it worked. 😊

Tactics for today’s Wordle: After the seed word, only three possibilities – STOLE, STILE and STYLE. Unlike yesterday, the second guess not based on frequency/usage, but rather gutfeel. Proved to be the target word. Lucky break! 😊 😊
