Happy with the 3, but holy crap, how close was I to getting a legitimate 1 yesterday? Apparently I was just one day off in the rotation.

Finally I got it in 3…it’s been a while! After my first word, I saw a trap coming, so I played a word that wasn’t valid (E was ruled out) to help narrow things down, and it paid off. :slight_smile:

BLUFF → An inauspicious beginning.
ROAST → Placed an A and need to find where the R goes. Another vowel, and something with an N?
CRANE → This feels traplike. CRACK, CRAZY, or…
CRAMP

Third guess could have gone CHARM, but I think I’d have still gotten it in 4.

Bit of a thinker, but picked it up in three this time.

Usually, when I drop ‘Q’ from the letters still in play, I check to make sure there’s no room for a QU combo. This time, I obviously didn’t. Finally, U was my only vowel remaining, and that forced me into the answer. Where’s that headslap emoji when you need it?

Probably should have slowed down a bit, and I might have gone for QUART at three. But I saw QUARK and just felt it, yanno? I suppose either was just as likely in the end. Not mad at a four here.
