Wordle 303 3/6
VOICE
TRAIN
FLAIR
I recently added VOICE to my list of start words with 3 vowels and this is the first time I’ve used it. I wasn’t sure about having two less-common consonants, but in this case eliminating the C was quite helpful.
I barely had to think at all on this one; the whole thing was over in about 15 seconds.
POISE or NOISE would give you the same vowels with more common consonants.
Those are also on my list. I like to switch things up. 
Makes perfect sense to me. Switching up the starting word is probably the only reason it feels fresh after 100+ daily plays.
AMPLE → Meh, move the vowel into the middle & try common consonants…
SNARL → Hmmm… RLA/LRA doesn’t work, nor L?A?R. So, ?LA?R. 4th letter must be vowel, but not OUY, so must be I, so
FLAIR
Expected an Office Space reference once I completed; was not disappointed.

Nice and fast, due to elimination of options by lucky (ish) first guess.

OK. Time skipped out of curiosity. Just barely managed to pull it off.

Got it in three. That almost never happens.
Tomorrow’s Wordle, Today
After a none-too-promising start, it just clicked into place. I feel like I’m on the threshold of greatness.

This one took me six. WordleBot said there were two solutions at my last guess. I never even considered the other one, so got slightly lucky. There are a lot of words that fit the pattern.

I threw in a Hail Mary on guess five to try to eliminate as many consonants as possible and got lucky with the Y. Almost lost this one.
Exactly the same for me, @psychobunny.

I used my best opener and got my ideal opening, covering my favorite seven consonants and three vowels. Useless! I was forced to break hard mode rules for guess 5 in order to secure the win. I did manage to get it down to one single possibility, but just barely. I may well have lost if I didn’t include a Y in my Hail Mary guess.
Yikes. That’s my fourth 6 in the past couple weeks.
Oooh I almost forgot to do this today.

After 2 I identified a short list of possible words, only two of which, COWER and MOWER, shared an unknown letter.
I’ve long been fascinated by the “aiery lotus munch” opening gambit. Aiery as a first word is good if you’re only giving yourself two research words, but if you get three, why stuff so many vowels into a single word? It ends up repeating ‘u’, which seems wasteful.
Over the past several months I’ve occasionally tried to come up with a better combo and always failed. So finally I sat down and coded up an ‘opening book finder’ of valid wordle guesses. Feed it some letters, it’ll tell you all possible word combinations. Repeat letters allowed.
AIERY LOTUS MUNCH
If you’d like to drop the second U and replace it with a P:
CLAIM RUSTY PHONE
Instead of P maybe you prefer K:
HINKY CAMEL TOURS
W could also be strong:
TOWSY HUMAN RELIC
But that’s assuming you’re firm on the other 14 letters. If I were going with three research words and ignoring hard mode (like I had to do for today’s stumper) I would probably drop both U’s, keep the Y, and add both P and K. So, ‘AIERY LOTS MNCH PK’, which could be done as:
CHALK MINER TYPOS
Each one of these queries returns hundreds of possibilities, mostly using obscure words like towsy. If anyone would like a particular set of 15 letters to use for an opener, let me know and I’ll hook you up. (Or any multiple of 5. Program can handle 5, 10, 15, 20 or 25 letters.)
