ATOLL → 3rd straight day with A & O vowels? Wow
HOAGY → And it looks like they’re not together. Two syllables?
SAVOR → Seems so. Might be a trap. Two R’s perhaps?
RAZOR → Nope. But I haven’t tried either of M or N yet…
MANOR
I feel a bit lucky that my third guess had knocked out MAYOR, or it might have been a six.
It’s apparently in SpongeBob SquarePants, so, for some demographics, it might be an extremely familiar word.
I don’t think it’s too obscure, but yes, one of the less common words that have been answers.

Dumb mistake repeating the placement of the R on # 3. I might have had a 3, had I noticed.

Forgot to post yesterday’s. (It was a 3.)
Kind of a letdown after yesterday.

was that a typo, or did Wordle give me a different word ?
That was a typo, damnit all.
Tomorrow’s isn’t an especially challenging word, but I struggled.

Tomorrow’s Wordle, Today
Wordlebot was apparently upset that I had commented on its boring choice of opening word yesterday. It wanted to start charging me for access, under the guise of having had “reached my limit of free articles.” Frak that.

CRUST
CRANE
CREAM
CREAK
Yesterday in 3:
SLANT
CHORE
ATOLL
Erased some of the bad taste from my 6 two days ago.
(Do I need to blur if I’m talking about a previous day? Can’t play the archive anymore.)
Today seemed like I should have been able to do it in 3, given that I had 4 letters after
SLANT
CHORE
but the answer could have just as easily been BARON, APRON, RANDO (too slangy?), or RADON (not common enough?) at that point as MANOR, so I kept going with
DUMPY
MANOR
to pick up the 4.
OK, maybe this deserves its own thread, but here’s the anti-Wordle game:
Wordle 347 2/6
CRAMS
CREAK
A strong 2, but humbling. I lost the ability to spell on this one, to the point I had to use Google to verify the most basic of words. I saw nothing with O, then I checked E and had to friggin’ Google ‘creap’, ‘cread’ (both have two E’s and no A, obviously) and then finally creak. My opener came through with an M so I didn’t have to bother checking cream.
By the time I got to creak (which the Google voice thing I’m speaking into right now is spelling with two E’s, btw) I had completely lost the ability to recognize whether words should be spelled with EE or EA.

Could so easily have been a 2 as I was considering CREAM as a starter this morning. Oh well, happy enough with a 4.

MAYOR
MANOR
Almost had this one in two. I wasn’t trying to solve the word for my second guess, but the answer word was the first one that came to me to try. I decided to check the Y though. Happy with three in any case.

Opium, chase, cadet, clear, creak
Today was like yesterday, only more so: after my first two words, I not only knew 4 of the letters, but this time I had the position of one of them, which of course cuts way down on the possibilities.
So this time I could surely do it in 3, no? That’s right, no. Had to settle for 4 again:
SLANT
CHORE
At this point, CREAM, CREAK, CEDAR, and CAPER were all possibilities. But DUMPY knocked out three out of four, so:

CREAK

Someone mentioned wordlebot wasn’t free anymore. It said it wasn’t free for me as well.
CRANE
CREAM
CREAK - I had a 50/50 chance of getting a 2, which would have been two in a row. I picked the wrong word first.
