I subscribed to NYT just to get access to wordlebot, well almost it was a very affordable offer.

Still when it’s staring you in the face and nope no idea wordlebot stats won’t help anyway.

TRAIN

Felt good about this one. My first instinct was trail because I really like L, but then I remembered my “gotta use either M or N or both in my first two words” so switched to train.

What the deuce? I see my two is in good company…

I won’t show the picture for spoiler reasons, but I didn’t get tomorrow’s. Not a word I’m particularly familiar with.

Dang I thought I had a 3rd straight deuce until the final letter flipped on guess 2.

Nicely done.

3397

So now I need a new starting word. (Surprisingly, I wasn’t all excited when I got the hole in one, just sort of ‘okay’, since it didn’t come after any effort or insightful thinking or anything.)

Anyway, can someone with a suitable list confirm that ORATE hasn’t been the answer yet?

HAIRY → That’s a good start… let’s move the letters around
RIVAL → Should have tried some better consonants. Oh well, next guess…
CURIA → Probably too obscure. Did I mention I got very little sleep last night?
STAIR → I Know where R goes now, by process of elimination. Do I have a repeated letter?
TRAIT → No. Fortunately I’ve already eliminated the L…
TRAIN

In retrospect, should have gotten this one in two, or at most three. Instead, I end up in a near-trap situation on the last guess.

Good reminder. May the fourth be with you.
