Nice to follow a six with a three. Took a little thinking, which makes it satisfying, but no stress on this one.

GAMER → I lost yesterday, but this is SunSon’s starting word, so he got a 1. Made me feel a little like Laius.
TRASH → Concentrate. A in 4th, S probably not last, try first - meaning R in 3rd… S?RA?, but not STRAP

Tomorrow’s Wordle, Today
I almost fell into a trap, but my previous guesses had eliminated enough possibilities that I was left with only two choices.

An unforced error on three, forgetting the N, and a bit of panic about the trap I ended up in. I got lucky again.
