Lucky guess today, had to think about it a while. After my second guess I was mainly able to narrow it down by eliminating past Wordles, and after I did that and thought a while, only two words came to mind, one of which was somewhat archaic, so I went with the other and was successful.

Not much to work with. The 3rd guess
narrowed it down to 3 per WordleBot but
only 2 that I considered. I chose the one I
thought less likely for the Par save.

The current NYT average for this puzzle is 3.7.

Not much to work here either. Went with "WEA__ ___"
and filled the pattern with WEAVE which was wrong
but limited the choices to either HEAVE or LEAVE.
HEAVE would have been the "obscure" word choice
but I thought of LEAVE 1st for another Par save.

The final NYT average for this puzzle was 4.2.

3 letters in green but still 7 possibilities per WordleBot
using 6 different letters. The 3rd guess reduced the
possibilites to 2. A coin toss saved Par. πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ

The current NYT average for this puzzle is 3.9.

10/02/2022 Wordle 470 4/6 TWINE

3rd guess reduced the possibilities from 7 to 3 per
WordleBot. I only considered TWINE and TWICE.
Didn't even think of THINE. πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ

Another coin toss to save Par. 2nd of 3 puzzles in
a row that required more luck than skill to save Par. 🧐

The final NYT average for this puzzle was 3.7.

I had it to TWINE or THINE because TWICE was a past Wordle, but I didn't think they'd do an archaic word, so TWINE it was. I honestly had problems guessing that as well because I was suspicious about it being just one letter different from TWICE, but there's really no reason for me to feel that way I guess.

Forgot that TWICE was used before, Good thing I didn't pick it!

Actually, now that I think of it, the longer we play the game, the more important it will be to check to eliminate prior answers. Is there an alphabetical sort function in a spreadsheet? If so, I'm going to need to start using it.

Note: Just figured it out and created a new spreadsheet w/all of the answers to the past Wordle games that I've played sorted in alphabetical order.
