Today’s Wordle #439 Answer, Hint and Clue

Spoilers ahead! You’ve been warned!

The Hint: Sporous.

The Clue: This word ends with a vowel.

The Answer:

Well, four ain’t bad. It’s not great, but it could be worse.

Alone is a good starting guess with three vowels, and it didn’t do terribly, bringing my total possibilities down to 100 even. That’s a first I think.

Dirty got me all the way down to 8, but I still only had yellow boxes.

From here I went foodie, guessing the lovely spice cumin which cinched it for me, with a ‘U’ in green and only so many spots left for the ‘I’ and the ‘N.’

But fungi is a tricky word, and it took me a couple minutes of deep pondering before I thought of the mushroomy word. For the win!

Huzzah!
