Today's Wordle answer
So, what is today's Wordle answer for game #1,797?
Drumroll, please — it's AGREE.
Hello Wordlers. Though I got today's puzzle in three moves, that doesn't take into account the time involved. This one had me puzzling for quite some time before I entered my third and final guess.
It does, however, contain three of the five most common Wordle letters. That meant that my usual opener of ORATE gave me three confirmed characters. 'R' and 'A' turned yellow, while 'E' went green to leave just 15 possible answers, according to WordleBot*.
The Bot's best Wordle start words were even stronger. PALED and TAPED leave 12 answers each, while LADEN lowers that to nine. If you started with TASER, just four options would be left in play.
I usually try and play as many of 'L', 'I', 'S', 'N' and 'C' as possible on my second turn, but with three confirmed characters to fit in, the best I could do was add one from my hit list with PARSE.
According to WordleBot, this left just two options. 'R' turned green, while 'A' was ruled out in a second spot.
It took me ages to think of anything, but eventually I got onto possible repeated characters and thought of AGREE. It was indeed the right answer, though it could just as easily have been AERIE.
Hopefully today's puzzle didn't trip you up, Wordlers. See you tomorrow.
* These were: BARGE, CARVE, FARCE, LARGE, BARRE, CADRE, RANGE, AZURE, AFIRE, AGREE, AERIE, RAISE, PARSE, PADRE and SABRE.

The Wordle answer for game #1,796 was... WRECK.
Hello Wordlers. A pretty straightforward one today, if you pursue the ten most common Wordle letters as doggedly as me.
I began with ORATE, which contains the top five. That turned 'R' green and 'E' yellow, leaving 31 options, according to WordleBot.
The Bot's best Wordle start words managed to find a place for 'C'. LANCE leaves 15 answers, while CARET lowers that to 11. If you opened with CRATE or TRACE, just two answers would still be available.
I like to play as many of 'L', 'I', 'S', 'N' and 'C' (the five next most common letters) as possible on my second turn.
Today, I could only try two of them with CRUEL, but it was a very effective move all the same, with 'C' going yellow and 'E' being ruled out in a second spot.
I was down to just two options, and I picked the right one, typing in WRECK for a three-turn win. The alternative, if you're curious, was DRECK.
Hopefully you did well today, Wordlers. See you tomorrow.
* These were: BREED, BRIEF, DRIED, DRIER, DRYER, FREED, FREER, FRIED, GREED, GREEN, GRIEF, PRIED, FRYER, PREEN, BRIER, ERRED, IRKED, CREED, CREEK, CREEP, CRIED, CRIER, DRESS, FRESH, PRESS, WRECK, DRECK, CRUEL, GRUEL, CRESS and URGED.
