Hmm, now Mom had a different word from other people again. Hers was GLASS. I had the same word as you all.

That was yesterday’s answer.

I’m not sure why wordlebot accused me of a wasted guess for the third word. It was a possible solution and eliminated two letters…

GLASS → OK, not bad, but the null on the forced double is a bit wasteful…
GUARD → Should have moved the A. Sometimes my fingers seem to have a mind of their own.
GROAN → Not much help there. At least I didn’t slip up again and try GRAIN…
GAPER → It’s a trap! What are my options with only two guesses left?
GAZER → Bad guess…
GATER → And another. Arghh!

Why didn’t I try the M on 4? It was obvious (in retrospect). Should have thought it over more. My worst-played Wordle in a while. Oh the embarrassment.

Phew, indeed! After WAFER I wrote a list of seven (!) possible words, and GAMER was not one of them. I had only one chance to troll for letters and got very lucky that the M fell into place.
I suspected some hard-mode streaks would end today. Sorry to those that did. :slightly_frowning_face:

I annoyed I missed moving the R on my second try. Wordlebot was very harsh about it, even though my expected number of remaining solutions was almost as good as the 'bot’s choice given my starting word.

Phew, indeed.

I’ll take this 6 and be happy my 122-game streak remains intact.

I now have tied the number of 5’s with my 3’s for this month. :roll_eyes: I was going to go with the answer word for my 4th word, but I thought, nah, they wouldn’t have two words starting with the same letter two days in a row. Wrong. Though, it has happened before, but chances are slim. Oh well, another 5 it is.

A lucky third guess (which gave me the G; and of course G had to be the beginning of the correct winning word) let me avoid the trap.
