Is your seed word ALERT? If so, I get the five remaining words: BALER PALER RELAX RELAY RENAL. How did you select the correct answer? Any of the first four words would have given the same odds.Orodruin said:Wordle 1 295 2/6

Luck … and being correctly incorrect (it was late and I failed to recognize that BALER and PALER would also differentiate RENAL, which left RELAX and RELAY as equivalent best options).jack action said:

Kaching! Second two-twos-in-a-row in less than a week. (1294-1295, 1298-1299)
