right here<\/a>. <\/p>\nI was a little surprised that PLATE did so poorly, leaving me with 336 remaining possible solutions and a single yellow \u2018E\u2019. CHOIR slashed that down to six, though I only came up with two: EBONY and GOOEY. I vaguely recalled EBONY as a previous Wordle so I plugged in GOOEY. That was the Wordle! I was surprised to learn there were four other possibilities when I did the Wordle Bot analysis afterward.<\/p>\n

Erik: 17 points<\/p>\n
