Whoa! An extra efficient use of the Paul Trick -- getting three letters right while simultaneously testing two possibilities for first letters.

I actually was going to guess FLINT second. But my finger, acting on its own, typed GLINT.

I'm never going to be "at one" with the bot because it regards Wordle as a game of elimination, whereas I regard it as a game of discovery.

That's an interesting distinction. I get the elimination interpretation -- literally, as you play you eliminate possible letters -- but I haven't considered the discovery element. What do you mean by that?

For me, it's about becoming a bit more conscious of how letters work together, which ones are likely to come before or after one another. For example, S and C both often immediately precede H or T or K, but C is more limited and unlikely to go with N, and D rarely if ever goes after either one. There are probably exceptions, especially in words of more than five letters. Or A almost always follows O and E but precedes U and I, rather than the other way around. Again with exceptions.

I probably unconsciously already knew those things but Wordle forces me to confront them more directly.
