Wordle #1970 is TRUCE.

Difficulty
Medium
Word type
noun
Vowels
2

Common enough word with a friendly letter pattern, but the U and silent E can trip players.

Puzzle note

Medium felt about right, since the U and the silent E can trip people up. A careful player would notice that CRANE and SLATE had already fixed R and E, leaving T, C and U to be shuffled into the gaps. Not bad for a truce.

  1. SAINT
    0 green, 1 yellow. 348 words still possible.
