Wordle

it’s where ailors moor their ail oats.

 

Clearly Viv, you are not a grinder.

At first I had an amendment but I was out by a magnitude.

 

616 3/6

 

Indeed. I was reluctant to try it as I felt that an American literary type was unlikely to use a technical term associated with grinding wheels.

I suspect it is an Americanism of arbour, a leafy glade or somesuch.

Moving on to today 4/6

 

There is no American literary type involved. The author of Wordle is a Brit. Shame on him for using such words.

 

I believe it is edited by a lady member of the New York Times.

Edit - Tracy Bennett. No wonder it has so many double letters!!

 

Yes, I too had an amendment at first but, like you, I was out by a magnitude.

 

Wrong word strategy on line 3 sorted it.
Another flush to start with.

 

Well done.

4/6 for me.

 

617 4/6

 

That worked well. Knowing the last letter in line 2 couldn't be there, narrowed my options to 1.
