DITCH was my first choice for my 2nd guess, but thought I should try another vowel instead. Good choice.

🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 MOTIFI’ve recently been looking at batik motifs for design inspiration so MOTIF was a quick and lucky guess! I think I’ll try BATIK as a starter tomorrow.
…The more I look at “batik” and “motif” the weirder those words look… 😵💫
-
Yes, the words look weird! Congrats on the 2!
-
Thanks, Hi!
-
-
Well done.
I remember doing BATIK in art class.
BATIK is a high probability ADD with a weighted bottles score of %57.47
-
Thanks, JD!
I need to scrutinize the ADDs lists you shared with us. We’ll see how BATIK works for me tomorrow!-
Good luck!

Wordle 1,872 4/6
⬜⬜🟨⬜⬜ RAISE
⬜🟨⬜🟨⬜ LINTY
🟨⬜🟩🟩⬜ OPTIC
🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 MOTIFRAISE leaves 38 possibilities. This is the worst pattern for RAISE. I in the wrong position.
First time I got this pattern with this word. There haven’t been a lot of I words lately. This just makes it more possible.
I decided on LINTY as a filter because of the number of words with Y(16), T(14), L(13). N is only 6.
I also wanted to rule out or in I in the second position. Let’s call it I2.
LINTY leaves only MOTIF, OPTIC, and VOMIT
So, of course I had to guess the word with P in it OPTIC.
OPTIC leaves only MOTIF because of T3.
I also considered HOTLY. That would have given me a 3.
=============================
A convertible retracts its top for a sunny summer drive.-
Linty is a great guess, idc if the bot says it’s “unlikely” it’s better than MUFTI apparently being in the list…
-
LINTY is a very unlikely ADD, but it did at least give me the T and rule out I2.
-
-
-
I find it interesting that most people had a choice between MOTIF and VOMIT.
I also have OPTIC, but I only see one other person who had that one as an answer.
-
I would have chosen MOTIF over VOMIT if I had thought of it!
-
I probably would have too if OPTIC wasn’t an option.
It would have come down to a “F” vs. a “V” as the tiebreaker.
F is slightly more common than V.
Both are low probability letters in case it was some other word.

We can celebrate those instead.

⬜⬜⬜🟨⬜ Crate
⬜🟩🟨⬜⬜ Loins
🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 MotifCrate and Loins got it down to Motif or Vomit. For whatever it’s worth, so far there have been 25 answers starting with MO; 3 of those started with MOT not counting today; 8 answers started with VO and none started with VOM. Based on that, it seemed like Motif had slightly better odds of being the answer.

🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩MOTIF*Count is my normal 2nd choice with just a yellow t, but I remembered JD recently saying that there aren’t as many NU C words, so I went with my 2nd 2nd choice, POINT.

You will beat the Bot most days I think.
That’s one of the reasons why I don’t bother with it (other than a lack of the subscription to the NYT).

-
Thanks for the suggestion, Big Al. At the moment, I like using saner as my start word every day. Is there a particular reason why I should try dimly instead?
-
Quietly…
SANER is the SANER choice.
Don’t go with DIMLY.
sssshhh.
