Ah , but that one doesn’t come up as first hit when asking Google what animal has 3 a's.
I suspect grandson's absence in 'deep thought' might have been time well spent.

It's just occurred to me that there are three a's in every animal's name.
I'm in the middle of a phase of doing Wordle first thing, but I'm still unconvinced of its entertainment value. Rows 1 & 2 are essentially just guesses, and thereafter it's usually just a question of thinking about possible letter combinations. There's no real challenge - it just passes the time over the first cuppa!

I see where you are trying to lead us
Let me just say that many years ago, in a former life, I taught in a primary school. I came across this wonderful statement from a girl aged about 7 or 8: "Octopuses are very dangerous. They have eight testicles and form a great hazard to mermaids."

I only noticed this morning that there is a 'Hard Mode' in Settings, which states: "Any revealed hints must be used in subsequent guesses" - which is what I'd been assuming all along! The default appears to be 'Easy Mode". This made me re-think, and I used the easy cop-out to advantage in today's Wordle when I'd drawn a lot of blanks in my first couple of attempts. Must admit, though, it felt a bit like cheating!
Sometimes, if I get a single yellow letter, especially if it's common, like E or S, I will do a word without it to see if I can identify other letters. AUDIO is one I use a lot because it has all the other vowels, except 'Y'.

Enjoying wordle, particularly because it is limited to one a day.
