A smooth three-guess solve this morning with SINGE! The weighted-entropy solver’s strategy paid off beautifully.

SALET opened strong with a green S in position 1 and yellow E in position 4, immediately narrowing the field to 165 candidates. Classic information gathering from the solver’s optimal opener.

SEINE was the natural follow-up, leveraging the confirmed S and probing for more vowel positions. This revealed the structure: S_??E with I and N floating somewhere in the middle. Down to just 2 remaining candidates.

SINGE closed it out on guess 3. With I moving to position 2 and N to position 3, plus the G filling the gap, everything clicked into place perfectly. The solver’s methodical approach made quick work of what could have been a trickier word.

Three guesses, clean solve. Not bad for a Thursday morning!
