At this point, I now still knew very little but I’d eliminated a ton of letters and it was just a matter of juggling what I knew with what I had left. Yesterday, some players got ‘fetus’ instead of ‘shine’ and today some players got ‘butch’ instead of ‘gecko’—probably because when the New York Times removed ‘fetus’ due to recent political stuff, it didn’t work quite right and has thrown Wordle into a kind of multiverse of madness. There are lots of words with a ‘C’ in spot three like that, but not a ton I can easily think of off the top of my head. In a lot of ways, it’s ironic that I got the ‘C’ in green on my first guess.
