Presumably you’re familiar with the online game of Wordle but here’s a brief recap: you try to guess a solution word. If your guess word has any correct letters in the correct place they are coloured green. If your guess has correct letters but not in the correct place these are coloured yellow. If the solution word only has one E for instance, but your guess has two Es and neither are in the correct place, only the first will be coloured yellow.
With that covered, I have come up with a variation. I have selected three English cities, and treated each of them as both the solution word and the guess word in all possible combinations, and coloured them according to Wordle rules. So for instance cities 2 and 3 start with the same letter, and cities 1 and 3 share a middle letter.
Your task is to identify the cities.
