Got there in the end. The one guess that arguably cost me was the 3rd, but it still gave me useful information. Wordle 1,345 5/6 🟨🟨⬜⬜🟨 ⬜⬜🟨🟨🟨 ⬜⬜🟩🟩🟩 ⬜🟨🟩🟩🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩

A useful 1st guess. There were only 4 possible words, and only 2 of those were likely. Wordle 1,344 2/6 ⬜🟩🟨🟨🟨 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩

There was only one word I could think of that matched the first guess pattern. Consulting the word finder, I discovered that's all there was. There will never be an easier solve until the day my starter word comes up, and I solve in 1! Wordle 1,342 2/6 ⬜🟨🟩🟩⬜ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩

I didn't consult the word finder after 2 guesses, but surely my 3rd guess was the only possibility. The 1st 4 letters were locked in. So quite a freaky 2nd guess after just about the most unhelpful 1st guess return. Wordle 1,341 3/6 ⬜⬜🟨⬜⬜ 🟩⬜🟩🟨🟨 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩

A slightly tricky one. Consulted the word finder after 3 guesses and found only 3 possible matches. The word chosen was both the most likely, and ensured I would definitely solve in 5. Wordle 1,340 4/6 ⬜⬜⬜⬜🟩 🟨⬜🟨⬜🟩 ⬜🟨🟨⬜🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩

I could think of 3 common words that fit the pattern after 1 guess, so I chose the one that gave clues to both the others and - bingo! Wordle 1,339 2/6 🟩🟩🟩⬜⬜ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩

Running out of possibilities (as you would expect, with 3 correct letters, and a lot of wrong ones). There were still 4 possible words for the 5th guess though. But the correct one looked most likely: Wordle 1,338 5/6 ⬜⬜🟩⬜🟩 ⬜⬜🟩⬜🟩 🟩⬜🟩⬜🟩 🟩⬜🟩⬜🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩

A poor strategy in hindsight. If I had done an exploratory guess after the 2nd one I should have definitely solved in 4, rather than having to suffer with a 5. Wordle 1,337 5/6 ⬜🟩⬜🟨⬜ 🟩🟩🟩⬜⬜ 🟩🟩🟩⬜⬜ 🟩🟩🟩⬜⬜ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩

It looked dire after 2 guesses, but don't underestimate the value in such a process of elimination. A nice solve in 4, in the end. Wordle 1,336 4/6 🟨⬜⬜⬜⬜ ⬜⬜⬜⬜🟨 ⬜🟩🟩⬜🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩

An odd but easy one; only 7 possible words after 2 guesses, and none screamed at me. The one I chose was the only one that spoke to me in more than a whisper: Wordle 1,335 3/6 ⬜🟨🟨⬜⬜ 🟨🟨🟨⬜⬜ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩

Political parties in Australia are barely mentioned in the Constitution despite having dominated parliament since Federation. Yet they are declining in importance, with minority governments more common, and independent MPs more influential: theconversation.com/splits-fusio...

It’s true. Still, the Labor Primary Vote in Victoria is polling 22%. Votes are shifting heavily towards Independents (who haven’t even begun campaigning!) The mood for change is rising. Who’s your local independent? www.communityindependentsproject.org/ci-mps-candi...

We need to remember that political parties are not an integral part of the Australian parliament. We can form governments without them. Independents don't need to align with parties in parliament for it to function, even if it's convenient to guarantee supply. open.substack.com/pub/tdunlop/...

Well, that's a relief. Today's was one I was never going to solve in 3. Even after getting 4 greens from the 4th guess with a load of excluded letters, it wasn't clear what it could be. Wordle 1,332 5/6 ⬜⬜⬜⬜⬜ ⬜⬜🟩⬜⬜ ⬜⬜🟩🟨⬜ 🟩🟩🟩⬜🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩

Unlike yesterday, the 2nd guess (my go-to after a blank slate 1st guess) was hugely helpful to solving in 3. And for the first time in ages, my solved-in-3 is beating my solved-in-4 (180 to 179)! Wordle 1,331 3/6 ⬜⬜⬜⬜⬜ ⬜⬜🟨🟩🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩
