Today’s Wordle puzzle, number 786, presented a moderately challenging experience for solvers. The letter pattern in this puzzle was distinct enough that elimination strategies could be employed to find the answer within six guesses. Predictably, it wasn’t the correct answer, which highlights how Wordle may sometimes deviate from the norms of the newspaper. I enjoy taking a SNAKY path to the answer, using different starting words and inconsistent strategies. For assistance in talking about Wordle, refer to the Wordle Glossary.
