Hey there, fellow Wordle warriors! Today, I’m here to share my not-so-secret weapon with you all: “Phew.” Let’s all admit it, we’ve all had some pretty epic fails when it comes to this game. I mean, I’ve lost count of the number of times I’ve completely blown it. And let’s not even talk about the fear of messing up in front of an audience. Cue sweaty palms and shaky fingers.

Now, when it comes to my Wordle strategy, I always start with AUDIO. Why, you ask? Well, I once saw a tweet about it being someone’s first word and decided to steal that idea. And boy, does it work! It’s chock-full of vowels, and you’re almost guaranteed a yellow square. You’re welcome.

Next up, MORAL. You can’t go wrong with R and L; they’re like the salt and pepper of Wordle. But here’s where it gets tricky. I was trying to find other words with ORA that didn’t end with an L. And what did I come up with? Coral. Doral?! Seriously, brain, a city in Florida? But wait, there’s more. I considered Torah, but was hesitant to use it as it’s technically a proper noun. Sigh.

But never fear, my friends. I wasn’t about to give up that easily. I dug deep and somehow came up with BORAX. Now, I have no idea what borax actually is, but it worked! Was it skill or just sheer luck? Who knows? All I know is that I’m grateful for the Wordle wizardry that saved me from utter embarrassment.

So, in conclusion, I give this round one star. Luck definitely played a huge role in my success, but hey, a win’s a win. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I’ve got some more Wordle words to conquer (with a little bit of magic on my side).
