Today’s Wordle:
Target Word: ARBOR
# Of Guesses: 4.3 WordleBot average per Marc McLaren*, 4 for WordleGuru. 😊

Typical or atypical target word? — Typical, it contains 2 vowels (A and O) and 1 compound consonant (RB). The “norm” is 2 vowels and 1 compound/paired consonant.

Seed Word: ALERT – “go-to” seed word.
What we learned from the Seed Word: The seed word revealed 2 letters – A in the 1^st position and R, but not its position.

2^nd word: SONIC (the “go-to” 2^nd word); It revealed the presence of O but not its position. 8 possibilities** at this stage. Time to deploy the EnotE© strategy.

3rd word:  BROOM, derived from the 8 possibilities; it eliminated 7 of the 8 possibilities, leaving me with the answer – ARBOR. 😊
