Once I knew the R wasn’t in the middle I knew it had to end in ER but I was really concerned there were way too many options left. I was afraid of it being xEVER (lever, fever, never, sever) so at least I missed that trap, although it still could have been newer or sewer or possibly hewer or hexer so I really got lucky.

Note: A while ago I had a similar word on practice site. I wanted a word that had five letters out of a group of eight or so. I used an anagram finder and found UPBOW. I was curious what it was and looked it up. So, now I know what it means. It’s a new word I learned with Wordle. In this case it narrowed it down to two words. I picked the wrong one first

Two of these I used double letters in even though I could have probably thought of words without them, but in both cases it turned out well since I was trying to place the “R” in the third slot but it turns out the last slot was it.

TROPE → Not bad, try some more common letters
LINER → I’m feeling a little nervous now
MAKER
USHER → Down to another E…
DEFER → Oh boy, it’s a coin flip… tails
FEVER → Augh!
Rejected at the hoop. What’s more, right after a 2! Pride goeth before the fall.

Using all the vowels in the first two words helped me here, as I was fairly confident plunking down the double E on three. All I could think of at that point were LEVER, NEVER, and NEWER, so I figured NEVER would get me at least one letter, and I was surprised when N and V both turned up black. I totally blanked after that, and had to stare at the keyboard for way too long before FEWER came to me. I actually felt lucky to escape with a five today.

MERDE
REFER
FEVER
I would have gotten it with one more try. Also, I’m surprised it accepted MERDE. With hindsight, wish I’d have used REACH as my starting word.
It could technically have been refer as well, I believe, though you did already eliminate defer.
This was a tough one.
Like pulling teeth. One at a time.
