Today's Wordle Answer (November 5th #504)
The November 5th Wordle answer is DREAM.
A very common word indeed, for our starting Wordle word we used IRATE. This quickly got the ball rolling with both vowels in the wrong position and the correctly placed 'R'. Assuming the popular positions of 'EA' in a five-letter word we tried AREAS as our second guess. This quickly locked down the center of three letters and led us into a patch of multiple possible words. Our third guess was FREAK which proved fruitless but did give us a few more unusable letters.
CREAM was the fourth guess and locked in the last letter of the puzzle. With these types of words you could easily be lost in a guessing game of possibilities, like Wordle words that end in 'ING', but luckily we were able to come up with the answer and scored DREAM for a respectable win-in-five, keeping our long-standing streak alive.
