SLATE
OLIVE

There were a lot of words this could have been based on the results of my start word, but this time I listened to myself and went with my first instinct for my second word, and it paid off. :slight_smile:

Two mistakes led me astray today.

CRANE - same starting word as two days ago - the one with OXIDE - I got the same result
TOILS - same second word as two days ago. Similar result but this had the yellow L
OLIVE - Came to me right away. I checked to see if there was something else. There wasn’t.
We had OXIDE and OLIVE in the last three days.

OUNCE
ORATE
OLIVE

I was starting to worry this was a trap word. But after a couple minutes I could only think of OLIVE and OXIDE (which we just had), so it turned out to be a surprisingly easy three.

Correction, three user errors!

Valor
Volts
Loved
Glove
Olive

The octordle really was a fun surprise. I noticed that the keyboard keys were solid -all letters in every word for t,h,e,i but I still did not realize that it was going to be the same word.
And I didn’t get the connection with the game number, I just figured out they missed 420 celebration -especially with that dance at the end.

PLANT → Let’s try some vowels…
SLIDE → And now I feel like I’ve got a trap word…
CLIME → OK, can’t be too many more comboes… but maybe I need to try another leading vowel…
OLIVE

I didn’t notice the link with OXIDE until everyone else pointed it out… of course, getting the L first guess meant I was thinking in other directions.

Tomorrow’s. Coulda got it in three.

Back in the saddle with a textbook 3. Textbook in that the answer was helpful enough to only use the most common letters.

According to WordleBot, my opening word was excellent, but this was the worst scenario for that word, which uncovered nothing.

My second word was four yellows and apparently reduced things to six possible answers. It still took me five guesses to solve it. Bot says I was highly skilled but not so lucky.

Another one where I wasn’t paying attention. I have to be more careful.
