DAMMIT!! My Wordle streak ended at 82.
TLDR version —
It came down to one guess between two possible words. A 50-50 coin flip.
And I lost. DAMN.
Details —
I started with my typical start words,
AIERY
LOTUS
which yielded
So I went with
RATED
The answer had to be xATER. But it could be any one of:
CATER
EATER
GATER
HATER
MATER
RATER
TATER
WATER
I needed to eliminate or isolate C (E) G H M (R) (T) and W. E R and T could be duplicated in the first spot.
I tried MIGHT for the M G and H, and I got this:
I was down to C E R T and W with two guesses left.
I tried TRAWL, and got this:
Cumulatively, I had this:
AIERY
LOTUS
RATED
MIGHT
TRAWL
So with one guess left it had to be one of these two, and I guessed wrong.
CATER
EATER
AIERY
LOTUS
RATED
MIGHT
TRAWL
X — EATER
