This was a bit of a challenge for me 😬. I couldn’t think of a good sleuth word to cover all of the words I was seeing, but Fudgy helped a bit (I thought #3 was going to be the Blare, Flare, Glare trap). I saw both Ebony and Peony but chose wrong, except Ebony helped me solve those two B words at least, but I picked wrong on Blare- **Brake** too. I laughed when I saw Zilch…that almost came true for me. 😆

I’ve pretty much completely abandoned hard mode at this point, with wordle too. It’s much more enjoyable to root out good sleuth words than it is to just guess and hope for the best. Compt to sort out \_ri \_e and divvy for gra\_e. Nice to find compt, that will probably come in handy again some day.

An extra little bit of fun is seeing what sleuth words we come up with 😀 I started to use vivid then figured I might as well check for the Y too.  
Linty is a good one for me, I was trying to think of something that had the L,N and T.

And koala gave you the L for troll 😀 I really appreciate the puzzles that play like that, where each word helps with the next, they seem very well thought out.

I don’t know that I have any go-to sleuth words; it depends on what I’m trying to sleuth out. The ones I find most interesting are when there’s a possibility of a re-used letter in the mix. For example:

\_LACK

Could be BLACK, FLACK, or SLACK; but it could also be CLACK.

SCOFF would not be a perfect sleuth word. If you get a yellow hint on the C, that doesn’t give you any information because there’s another C.

COMBS would be better.

Sometimes those are the hardest ones. You’d have to use a word that begins with C, like carbs. If the c came up yellow you’d know it was flack. But you could also just use buffs and if nothing hit, then it would be clack.  
Of course the more letters you need to test for the trickier it gets, like yesterday’s \_aste could have been H, B, C, P, W or T, there’s no easy way to sleuth that if you haven’t already canceled some of the letters out.  
You might be able to make good use of a sleuth word if you had several letters that you needed to test for at once, but I’m guessing that seldom happens with your starting method.

Those always make me a little nervous. Technically, the example I gave could have also been ALACK or PLACK, though those are probably too uncommon to be the answer.

For \_ASTE, I would have already used P and H. I don’t see a perfect sleuth word among what’s left.

I didn’t see Omega. 🙄 It wasn’t the only choice though…I grew up in a sailing family, so Genoa came to me, and that was all I could see. However, I don’t think I’ve ever seen it be an answer before (I’ve used it before for guesses).

Nice 6, by the way…two days in a row! 😃 Lucky guess with Above! There were several words that one could be.
