WHOSE (3)
MOVED CHIME (5) DRAIN (6)
POKER
FOYER BOXER (9)
Well, that wasn’t fun…too many trap words. I decided to go with Moved to check all three trap words…it would not cover all possible letters, but that’d be impossible. Got really lucky that the M and D gave me the answer for Chime and Drain, but then was faced with the #4 trap word. And that it was just in yesterday’s Sequence game was rather annoying, but at least I didn’t fail this one.
Yeah, what’s up with the repeating of the same words between the two games? Sheesh. I already had enough to solve Thumb (only possibility it could be) without thinking in those terms though, but still.
This is definitely more challenging than quordle

NADIR - 5 - never heard of it

SHAME - 7 - got lucky, still had shave and shake to go
SPIED - 8
BRICK - 9
I meant to type Wrung…I know the B and W are nowhere near each other on the keyboard, and while I did think of Brung for a brief moment, I knew it was an improper word, but for whatever reason that’s what my fingers typed. Yeah, gonna blame it on my fingers, who sometimes have a mind of their own. Wouldn’t have changed my score of course though.
Lost the coin toss between Tapir and Nadir. For word #2, I wasn’t about to get stuck in a stinkin’ trap this time, so I went with MILKY to check Shame, Shale, Shake…and Shave would be obvious if MLK didn’t hit. Also, thought it would be good to get a Y in for the other two words too, just in case, but none to be had. The K ended up helping me with BRICK though.
I’m now hooked on playing Blossom daily, and my score keeps improving - highest score is now 280. I finally read the instructions - lol. I never knew why one petal had a yellow outline around it. And I didn’t know that you got bonus points for pangrams either. I still miss a lot of good words I feel I should have seen, but it’s been a fun game. I also just saw that you can play past games that you missed, up to 10 days past that is, so I’ve got a few games to catch up on. You can replay games too, but can’t see the sense in that, as I always look at the list of all words after I’m done.
I had three firsts in this game. Right off the bat I had my very first decision, with one green and one yellow in two different panels after my first guess.
Next I had my first mistake, which was a mistake on three levels, by guessing pully at 5: I didn’t reuse the yellow E, I reused a yellow L where I knew it didn’t go, and I misspelled pulley. No idea what pully is.
And finally, pretty sure this is the first time I’ve ever not used the letter S.
It’s a trap!..trap…trap…trap…It’s a quadruple trap! Now that’s a fun way to make this interesting. Way better than repeating words from the previous day.
For word #1, I had Ladle, Tilde, and Delve…I went for Tilde to avoid the double letters and to check the T and I in case they were in the other words, and no T’s but got that I…in the same spot in both of the other words. So a miss isn’t always a bad thing.

SHUSH - 8
I was surprised when I got to SHUSH, all five letters in green. Never had that happen before!
Drunk seemed recent to me too, but I can’t remember what or when either. I suppose with doing all three games everyday we are going to have some overlap.
Quordle needs to go to AA. @EllisDee, in case you didn’t check yet…yes, Drunk was in fact a word just two days ago on the 12th.
I got stuck on the #2 word…I only had a yellow L and green A and could only see Flamy. After that failed (not entirely as it helped me solve the trap word), I was thinking there’s absolutely noth…ohhhh, PLAZA!
I gave up on Sequence at the second word after my 9th guess…getting tired of all the trap words - wasn’t fun. I may just stick to Quordle.
Phew! I’m not sure if I would have seen hazel until I’d eliminated more letters. Fortunately I hit the V in coven with gavel so was forced to switch. Then I had my choice of going back to the trap of death or switching to the word __RET, which was pretty obviously beret so that was an easy choice. Then finally staring at it forever I finally saw hazel.
Yet another immediate repeat with spied. Seriously, what the fuck? Who thinks this is good game design? Having the occasional repeat is fine. Good, even. Having at least one repeat every day, frequently multiple, and all the repeats are from no more than two days prior is the height of bullshit. Fuck this game.
Good call, I am also quitting sequence now. Explanation in the nested details box. Salty language warning…
