> Aunty is an interesting choice of words, being slang and all - I use it all the time, but didn’t think Quordle went with words like that. Guess we know now it does.

Deja vu all over again. Almost guessed award immediately after fifth because those were the paired answers just a few days ago. At the last second I remembered I had burned a guess on guard before award, so gave that a shot.

Also, I figured diced wasn’t a valid answer because of that past tense -ed, but I just couldn’t see the EO ending.

Guessing pasty before paste, considering that I had not yet checked E and really wanted to, was a clear mistake. A real head slap moment.

It amuses me that the only reason I know the word folio is because of my brief AD&D days in the '80s, when I bought the Fiend Folio. I still have it (and all those books) to this day.

My fifth was a lucky 50/50 guess. My seventh was a little unlucky.

> **Summary**
>
> I played Twirp as a sleuth word for the \_ASTE trap…couldn’t come up with a better one to check all letters, and thankfully it not only took the word, but it did the job. Trite was completely solved…not sure if that’s happened before. Only had the I in yellow for the #3 word and Nomic came to me to try…it’d at least check some good letters, and then it appeared Folio was the only choice from there, but took me a bit to see it. Salad was easy, thankfully.
