🤣 I wish you well in achieving your goal!  
I’m right there with you. We have quite the knack for selecting the wrong ones. One thing that always gets me in trouble is being reluctant to use double consonants. Like today, I know they use the \_erry trap a lot, but I still avoid it in the hope that it will be something else this time, dumb.

And then getting the Berry- **Ferry** -Merry trap in 2 guesses was good too, which also could have been a few other words than the trap. Of course, if I solved both in one guess each, that’d be “wizard level” - lol, but I actually was satisfied with my game play on this one.

Well, it _could_ have been something else, and you just took a chance it would be…not so dumb in my opinion. I actually almost went with Perky too. I also tend to be resistant to go with the double letters, but they do seem to like those type of trap words.

True, but like on this puzzle, after using chump to sleuth, it still could have been taper, paper or paler, but I picked paper because they seem to use that one more often. I should have used clump instead of chump, that would have eliminated paler too.

True…that was great thinking! But if you do go with something that isn’t as likely because you want to take that chance, I think of that as being more brave than dumb. 😉 I, on the other hand, felt I _was_ being a bit dumb by not going with a sleuth right away…I wasn’t trying to take a risk, just wasn’t really thinking things through, even though I did see it was a big trap word. I wasn’t too upset about it…didn’t fail, so that is always a good thing!

Not necessarily, it _could_ have been any one of those words as well. It’s all too easy to say I should have done this or that once you know what the answer is 😆  
I try to go with what I think is more likely based on past puzzles, but even that is a crap shoot. Like today I tried brier because it’s been used several times before. (I remember because it’s briar dang it, LOL.) I was so sure that I never even saw brief, doh!

You have a good point…it _is_ always easier to say things in hindsight. I think I fell for the Brier-Briar thing before too…for today I knew the R wasn’t last so I wasn’t faced with that, but still took me 5 guesses to nail it (including my start words though), and went with the wrong letter again too - lol.

**Side Note:** Probably don’t need to blur that now…I’m playing really late (see “story time” below as to why), and pretending to be in the “International Date Line West” time zone - lol…love that I can change my system time so I can still play. 🙂

> **Story Time**

> My usual evening routine got derailed a bit…I found a soaking wet really scared lost puppy and had to try to find her owner. The tag was just a shelter tag and it said she was a foster dog…I called the number for the shelter and I was able to talk to an animal control officer _seconds_ before they closed, and he came over with the foster parents a while later. Good thing as I didn’t know what to do with the puppy otherwise…my dog was _not_ happy about her presence here, nor were the cats. Usually my dog is great with other dogs, but I’m not sure she understands puppies. The puppy was so stinkin’ cute though!
