Got stuck in a bit of an EA trap. Happy to have nailed this in four…could have been worse, glad it wasn’t.

Are you in Scotland or Australia? I do know it’s more common in those countries. I’m in the US and really don’t hear anyone use the word, but I have heard of it before (I have friends in Australia so maybe from them).

4523

I am in Australia. But I said it while I was growing up in New Zealand, which in my area had a heavy Scots influence, so that all tracks.

Hopefully Wordle isn’t going to tell me that I haven’t actually solved the puzzle again.

Thankfully my first word eliminated trust/tryst. There were surprisingly few other options with A, O and E all eliminated.

(I just now thought of strut, but that was eliminated by my second word. Rusty may have been the only valid answer.)

I resisted starting with ‘Y’ at the end because of yesterday’s also ending in ‘Y’. But after my second try, it was pretty much the only remaining option.

Had a few words I could play for my third word, and I thought…could there be two days in a row with a Y at the end? Why yes there can! I’m on to you Wordle with your repeated letters in the same spot two days in a row. :face_with_monocle:

Not a good day to change my opening word from the usual RATIO. I probably would have had a two, but at least I made a pretty pattern.
