Ok…
Hmm…
What the…
I dislike it when they use such words. Had to look it up for possible combinations after the fifth chance. Didn't even know such a word existed.
Even the Wordle Analysis Bot took 6 steps to solve it today.

It automatically displays the solution after 6. But even if I could have solved it, I wouldn't have wanted to solve it. The solution describes an instrument whose application I currently try to avoid although my doctors tell me I shouldn't.Orodruin said:
