Ha! I just realized I spelled DONOR wrong. If I had realized that, I would have confidently played GONER for the win, having eliminated LONER with my opener and assuming BONER isn’t a valid answer. Nothing would have changed, though, as it wasn’t any of those and I’d have gotten the same intel.
At first I was annoyed I had to settle for an S instead of M in my opener. I find it satisfying to follow up an all-black opener with STARE or STORE, but I couldn’t because I opened with the S. (Also a great follow-up to a lone yellow S at the end.) I really wanted to play the letters TRNEO for my second word, but couldn’t see anything. Finally thought of INERT, which I was super happy with.
I never saw RENEW at all. After my two research words, all I saw was _ONER. And, of course, like an idiot I thought donor was spelled with an E. I even briefly considered checking the spelling. Should have listened to that impulse.
Fortunately the third word kind of locked in renew as the only choice that I saw. Tough one. I was never getting better than a 4 on this regardless of my opener or my spelling, but at least a 4 was essentially the worst case scenario.

You may have spelt DONOR wrong, but you spelt DONER correctly. As in “doner kebabs”

I knew that ERNED wasn’t a real word and couldn’t be the answer, but it had a lot of of placement i wanted to test. Still, it’s good that i didn’t see
NEVER
Or I would have guessed it instead of RENEW.

But if it’s not a real word it wouldn’t be on the Wordle list. Yet it doesn’t seem to be a real word at all or is it?

TUNER
RENEW
I actually considered RENEW (along with NEVER) for the second word, so I had a chance at a two here. Again, though, I balked at doubling up so early. Very happy with a three on this one, however. (PIANO TUNER was completely unintentional; I didn’t even realize I had done that until posting here.) 
Almost thought this would be my first miss because there were so many possibilities!

Their “legal guess” list has a bunch of stuff that’s good for Scrabble, but not actually a word you’d use, or see in writing.
Am I the only one here who has absolutely no interest in looking at the answer list or the guess list?
It seems just a tad bit cheat-y, and I feel like it would take something away from the game experience.

Yes, I feel this way, too. I kind of wish it was double spoilered when people mention things about what’s on the lists. I’m glad I know that plurals aren’t used for answers, but that’s about it.

REFER
RENEW
I was really hoping it would have been the sneaky double double-letter REFER so I could feel all clever and all about myself for sussing it out with those first two guesses, but it was not to be.
I don’t look at word lists either. As far as I’m concerned, all five letter English words – whether they be American or British spelling – are fair game.
