Wordle Grid 609 February 18 Attempt

The February 18th Wordle answer is AVAIL.

A tough one with a few of the classic tricks that the game uses, for our starting Wordle word we used IRATE. This provided two vowels with 'I' and 'A', one of them being in the correct spot helped. We moved on with our second guess CHAIN which only put the 'I' where it was supposed to be and added a few more incorrect letters.

Our third guess for the day helped out a little more, we tried FLAIL which set up the end letter 'L' and put us on the right path. Truth is, AVAIL did not come so fast, we spent quite a few minutes just staring at the screen, lost and confused. Eventually, it did click though and we scored our Wordle win-in-four with AVAIL.
