Slow start on a tough word. I did think of NANNY at 4 but didn’t want to plunk down three N’s so I kept looking. Really thought I had it when C-A-N turned over. Could definitely have been worse though. “Canny” is one of those words you rarely see in the wild; “uncanny” is much more common to me and I didn’t think of its obverse right away.

MIDST → Strikeout. At least there are some good eliminations.
PROLE → 0-fer-2. Not many vowels left.
FAUGH → This was a total Shakespearean shot in the dark. OK, something with a Y, and N is still around. 10 consonants down says there’s likely to be a repeated letter, so…
CANNY

This one showed the power of eliminating letters early. I avoided the CANDY trap with my start word. Not really looking forward to tomorrow though…

I completely depended upon the gods that protect fools to get a score out of this. I mistyped my 6th guess of candy by putting in a double N instead of the ND in candy

That “N” in fourth position saved me from CANDY. Still took a while to decide that this relatively less-common word might be a Wordle winner.

Ugh. I just finished watching John Oliver’s opening main story on the Roe v Wade decision. What a shit wordle to follow that with. I declare this a blursed wordle, because at least I got a 3.

What the fuck with my wordle?!

EDIT: I keep wordle open in a tab in the browser on my phone so each day I can see what I opened with the day before. I guess that means it doesn’t refresh, and they decided to change today’s wordle yesterday or something.

Man my first two research words were just the worst…
