I don't think I've ever seen such a barren set for the first 4 tries. There should be a prize for that.fresh_42 said:Wordle 1,138 5/6

a) it was always the same letter that I had right, in all guesses 1-4
b) all other fields were pairwise distinct, i.e. no doubles, except for the one correct letter in 4
c) I ran out of letters in the alphabet! I was considering guesses in Cyrillic or Klingon!
d) the solution is an Italian pasta, not English <grrrghrr> - handicap 1
e) the solution is German slang for "school", not English <grrrghrr> <grrrghrr> - handicap 2

It is just another word that is not in my 1984 American Heritage Dictionary. I never did pay much attention to how pasta was cut.

My third, and wrong, guess was even a homophone. On the English / Italian question, I'm not sure where to draw the line. A couple decades ago, spaghetti would be English but penne probably not.

Bad luck with this one, not on one but two guesses.
