Yeah I had a bit of a blind spot today. I didn't immediately see that possibility, and when I did I wasn't sure if was going to be in the dictionary. Of course I could have just tried it and found out.Wordle 630 6/6
Wasn't sure it was a word. I see IK also struggled with this one.
The main reason I settled on "crypt" as my opening word is based upon my unproven idea that hoarding consonants reduces my chances of getting caught up in a downward spiral of possibilities like you did today. The downside (again, unproven) is that I score fewer '3's and more '5's now.Wordle 632 6/6

holy crap. just about didn't get it. I think I tried about every 2 letter combo there for the missing 2 letters.
I tend to try and get the vowels figured out first, as that helps me with guesses better. But I can see the benefit of your approach as well.The main reason I settled on "crypt" as my opening word is based upon my unproven idea that hoarding consonants reduces my chances of getting caught up in a downward spiral of possibilities like you did today.
