I was noticing that…it’s coin-toss city with this game! And it does seem I get it wrong more than right too. It just makes it more exciting when you finally get one right. 😉

Tatty is some bullshit. I only discovered it was a valid answer after typing it in and it didn’t go red. Same for taggy and tammy, which are themselves also bullshit. So I broke my rules and switched to the other words just to try and figure them out for fun. Super lame.

I’m starting to get scornful of these fetid answers. After lamer I had positively identified \_ALER, but couldn’t see a single word to fit that. So I typed in every possible opening letter to see which ones didn’t turn red. Those were waler (a breed of horse in Australia), haler (unit of currency in the Czech Republic), and baler, like a hay baler. I thought hay baler was spelled with an I, but apparently not. Since I’ve heard of a hay baler I went with lucky B. But just 2 days removed from tatty, I was pretty damn pissed to be once again reduced to typing in all combinations fishing for valid words. The only reason I like these games is because the answers are common words. I am rapidly losing interest in quordle because of how uncommon the answer words can be.

Then to add insult to injury, I got burned by not trying my former favorite letter C. Scornful indeed.

Tatty is uncommon nowadays, but I’ve read and heard it being used, probably almost as much as fetid 😆

> **Summary**
>
> I got a little thrown off by going with a different start word and not putting in a second one because I saw I could solve Scorn. Took me a lot longer than I would have liked to finish this one. Got lucky with Pause…was just trying to get two vowels in there, plus another common letter. I then saw the possible \_A\_ER trap for the #1 word. Should have gone with Baker first…_almost_ did. Baler wasn’t on my radar…I am familiar with them though.
> 
> And then I was stuck for the last word to solve…only had the T and E in yellow, and I could _not_ see a word out of what was left. I started just writing down various words (most of which were _not_ words - lol), but I also had Demit, Fetid, and Teddy…the latter being what I felt was more likely, or at least most common (Teddy Bear or Teddy as in Camisole), but if wrong it wouldn’t tell which of the two others it was, that is if I wasn’t missing any other words, so I just went with Demit first.

* * *

* * *

@EllisDee I agree about the uncommon or obscure words. We’re used to Wordle’s removal of various types of words, but with this game almost anything goes. Unless it happens far too regularly, I won’t want to stop playing, but it is a tad frustrating when they do show up.

Double deja vu today. First elbow on the same day Wordle’s answer is [redacted], and then revue again. Though that may have been from sequence, not quordle.
