OK, that was a weird one, but using a trick I'd seen the bot use left me with one option after the second line.

I am a little curious about what the trick is and what bot ?

The WordleBot at https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2022/upshot/wordle-bot.html - there's a link after you finish. In theory it's one of the extras you get for subscribing but if you're quick you can click on the link on that page before the subscription spoiler comes up, and after that you can use arrow keys to navigate it. That's how I've known that I eg had two words left in the dictionary but guessed wrong.

The trick I referred to is that there are certain letters where the bot will prioritise making existing yellows into green rather than finding new letters. To be more precise :

Spoiler

if you get a yellow T and E in the first line, it will go with words like TITER or TENET to try and place the T&E before going further. Today it preferred TITER but I went with TENET, which left just one possible word. Other words it particularly likes for the second line are REBID and PINOT.
