Lost the coin-flip between HEDGE and WEDGE. SEDGE was also on the table, but unlikely. I’ll take the four.

It’s a good thing I am usually the last to post results…for #389 I had a big oopsie! When I edited my post, I accidentally removed the bottom spoiler tag and didn’t realize it. :flushed: It appears no one noticed and it wasn’t an issue, thankfully.

Was really hoping I had short circuited an _OUGH (BCDRT) trap. Lots of different pronunciations in that trap.

#390: didn’t play. It was one of those $#@! days.
#391: 4/6
#392: 4/6

Started off both 391 and 392 with

SLANT
CHORE
DUMPY

but that left me in two very different places.

In #391, I only had the silent E ending, and a D somewhere else. But I didn’t have a lot of letters to play with, and once _EDGE occurred to me, I was fortunate in that all the possible first letters but one had been eliminated. Ditto for _IDGE. So I was able to get WEDGE on the fourth guess.

In #392, I didn’t really have much to work with after two guesses, but after 3, the solution was all but spelled out. So a very easy, ROOMY 4.

I was stumped for a bit until the double O occurred to me. Still have a blind spot for double letters after all this time. I don’t love fives, but I don’t think there’s much I could or should have done differently here that would have helped. Them’s the breaks sometimes.
