My Wordlegroup chat agrees that this is one of the worst kinds of Wordle: the one where there are way too many possible answers even once you've locked down more than half the letters. I cycled through a couple of options once I had S--O--E, and things started looking a little dicey.
Getting a different Wordle answer today?Here's more on the alternate answer and why there are two.
One way to hack this scenario is to work out what letters couldbe in those spaces, and then to guess a word that contains as many of them as possible. If I thought today's might be SPORE, STORE, or SCORE, I could ignore the S, O and E and guess CRYPT or CREPT, which would eliminate C, P, and R, and confirm the T. (Did I actuallydo this? No. I panicked and threw letters down willy-nilly like I was playing Boggle, and got lucky. Don't be like me.)
