Meh. Second guess was SHOUT for four green and it still took me five tries to exhaust all the other possibilities.

I hoped i might get my first 2, but alas, it wasn’t to be. I had no risk of the trap some people ran into, because i guessed that letter in my first word.

Just a little fun working backwards. Were your words

LOWLY → Upon reflection, I should have expected this.
STORE → Haven’t tried H yet, and do I have a double-O?
SHOOT → That’s a big no. Can’t think of a working OAT or OIT ending, so maybe OUT? STOUT and SHOUT are ahem out, so…
SCOUT → N & P are left, so I think I’ll make it…
SNOUT → by a nose.

Splendid !

I was going a bit too fast and didn’t even see SNOUT or SPOUT. So I was surprised when I didn’t get it in three. No letter-trolling necessary, though; I could not have gotten more than a five.

I couldn’t post yesterday’s results (they were a 5/6) due to being not computer-adjacent, but here’s today’s:

IRATE

SNOUT

I just thought SNOUT was more likely and a more satisfying word than SHOUT or STOUT.

I’ll take it!

TRIPS
TROPE

Already running out of P openers after two days. I thought I only had two (print, plant) but I just thought of some plurals I can still use like proms/prams.

I’m not hating TRIPS as an opener, come to think of it. Maybe TR openers next

In two!

It’s gonna be an old-fashioned hole digging! By Gar, it’s been a while.
