Today's Wordle Answer (September 17th #455)
The answer to today's Wordle is CHUTE.
For our game today we were incredibly lucky, using our standard starting Wordle word IRATE, we were able to get two correct letters in their correct positions, the 'T' and the 'E'. Using this information we simply broke down what other possible vowel could be used. It had to be either a repeated 'E', an 'O'; or a 'U'. Right off the bat, we thought about 'U' and the only possible choices would be CHUTE or FLUTE, so we tried CHUTE and successfully scored a Wordle win-in-two.
