Since my starting word is “TRAIN” I had my one, and likely only, whole-in-one the other day.

Eliminated all vowels except for ‘i’ after my second word, and I really felt the word would be ending in IST, but nope. I then had to think long and hard what letter would go in front of the ST. Thankfully, it finally came to me, so I’m happy with a “Splendid” 4.

A medium-challenging par. With I in the second spot and no other vowels, I was afraid it was going to be a trap with _IGHT. Glad that wasn’t the case. The M was a lucky choice; it still took me a minute to see MIDST.

Sometimes it’s better to be lucky, than good.

My second guess wasn’t smart as I thoughtlessly ignored the verified position of that “S”.

But on the other hand it did confirm that the word did NOT end in “IST”. Since the “I” had to be in first or second position, that eliminated some guesses I’d otherwise have made.

3473

Tomorrow’s is here. Like many who have said something similar before me, I had the right word at guess three and should’ve trusted my gut.

Tomorrow’s Wordle, Today
I thought I’d be smart by switching things up and thereby coast to a sweet 3/6. Wordle told me otherwise.

BADGE → Not the one letter I expected to hit on. Now, other vowels?
ODDLY → Still no vowels. No repeated D either. I thought a long time here, trying to get something to use U & I with a middle D. Couldn’t find anything, so tried
UNDER → despite the redundant E. Then I saw it in two seconds.

Inverted green T, aka cause of a spill in a Chinese restaurant.

My first guess for 3 was the answer, but then I went through the available letters and decided CANDY was more likely, drat!

ETA: just read other comments - seems a common mistake today

Once I ruled out all the vowels except A, I figured there had to be a Y. I figured there was a double letter, went too far and bet on a triple letter instead, but was able to easily figure it out from there.
