⬜⬜🟩🟩⬜
🟩⬜⬜⬜⬜
🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩

Looks like this was pretty easy for everyone. :)

4 choices per WordleBot but only 2 based
on the letter pattern that was revealed.

The current NYT average for this puzzle is 3.7.

10/21/2022: Wordle 489 3/6 GROVE

9 choices per WordleBot but only 2 based on
the the letter pattern "___ RO___ E." So, it was
either GROVE or PROVE. Chose GROVE because
it seemed the more "obscure."

The final NYT average for this puzzle was 4.4.

I actually thought of the answer after the third guess but didn’t think it would be prudent to try it yet. I almost tried something else on the fifth guess still. Good luck!

I think I had used so many letters that by my fifth guess this was literally the only option left! Really hard today!

Only 2 letters to work with in the 2nd and 5th
positions and at least 35 different choices per
WordleBot. At least 15 of which were based on
5 variations of the same letter pattern!

Knew it was a difficult and uncommon word from
the results reported above. Thanks for the help! :)

I didn't think of all of the possibilities but there was
only 1 that was unique from all of the others which I
decided to try 1st to rule it out.

Lucky guess? For sure but also based on a bit of thought.

The current NYT average for this puzzle is 5.5 which
indicates that most people needed 5-6 guesses to solve it.
So, don't feel badly if you did too.

PS: Just realized the description of my approach could be a
spoiler but it will still require some thought/analysis to "get it."

10/22/2022: Wordle 490 3/6 SPIEL

4 choices per WordleBot but only 2 based on "S__IE__."
SPIEL and SPIES. Only thought of SPIEL.

The final NYT average for this puzzle was 3.7.
