I might could have got it in three, but I pooched my second try. I should have realized the ‘A’ belonged elsewhere. I blame residual illness from COVID Booster #2. That thing kicked my butt.

Wordlebot said my third guess wasn’t in the list and I guess I was supposed to know that somehow. There was only one valid word left after my second guess. Had a hard time coming up with guesses even for the second guess.
