My boring start word is dull until I get a Two then it is a mad genius move.

honestly-even with 4 of 5 letters I had to stew on it for a long minute.

Tomorrow’s Wordle, Today
I was afraid that this was going to be another trap, but it didn’t turn out too bad.

Finally a return to form, though I almost wasted a guess on SNOWY.

My saving grace this word was my most recent rule edition, where I try to use either M or N or both, but never neither. Without this rule, I would have gone with STOLE as my second word and had little chance at a 3.

Ack…so close to getting it in two. Quick-n-easy one today by luck of my first two words. :slight_smile:

Eh, not my best effort. N definitely should have made an appearance earlier. But a win’s a win, I suppose.

I’m not reading the thread yet. But at this point I’m a little puzzled by this one. So far I have tried SNORT and SPOON. There was a slight chance I could get it in 2. Alas, no. But I’m a little puzzled because right now I don’t see what words are of
the form S x O x N? I still have 4 guesses left.

I’m confident I’ll get it. I’ll return when I do.

@EllisDee your word generator algorithm so far is working well, thanks again! I wanted three words that exhaust the first 14 or 15 of the most frequently used letters based on Wikipedia’s letter frequency page, Letter frequency - Wikipedia. In descending frequency they are:

E T A I S O N R L H D C U M G — P Y F B W K Z V X J Q

The dash separates the top 15 from the rest of the 26.

From this, lately I’ve been starting with these three words:

SNORT
MEDIC
LAUGH

Back to work!

Average performance.

I think you have only one possibility left.

Spoiler it? Bullitt, don’t read the spoiler!!

3217

I thought of that just as you were typing! Sorry.

3218

Never mind!

3219

I don’t really see how, but as you wish.

3220

I’m being unclear. Apologies. What are the two more words? I really only see one.
