I’ve got a mini three streak going! Three in a row if I’m not mistaken.

ASSET → SunLass just started summer vacation, but for some reason I was thinking attendance office…
TARDY → Really should have gone with TRAIN. However, it made little difference
TIARA

I’m sure Wordlebot would taunt me ferociously for such play.

TIARA

Quick-n-easy one today with my rather fortuitous start word…I could only see one word it could be from there. I haven’t ever gotten two tries two days in a row before, so that was a surprise.

3926

I did okay on tomorrow’s from an inauspicious start.

Tomorrow’s Wordle, Today
This was certainly an interesting one. I will be especially interested in what the Teeming Millions will make of this.

CREPT

Really? That surprises me…I wouldn’t consider it that uncommon of a word, nor would I consider it obscure. Though I guess it’s just not a common enough instrument (unless you’re in the few countries where it’s used most) to make the Wordle list of answer words.

Well that was stupid; should’ve been an easy 2. Hell, it could’ve been a 1 since CREPT is one of my starters.

In 3:

SLANT (as always nowadays)
MERCH
CREPT

After the first 2 words, I was able to narrow it down to CRUET and CREPT. As someone was saying here lately, go with the more common word. So I did.

ETA: This was supposed to be a reply to BobLibDem.

Thought I had another three and ended up a five. R escaped my notice initially and CL was the only combination I saw after the H was gone. Still wasn’t worried; very limited possibilities, though I could have saved a move by using R before L. I need to start slowing down and thinking these things through.

TIARA → Not a bad start with two common consonants. Let’s try some more vowels
ERUPT → That was a lucky guess. Only thing left is
CREPT

Getting the P in place was the real stroke of luck, especially as I had been trying to think of a word with a more common consonant.
