After the first guess I was locked into a C starter with an L but not in position two, and no A. This greatly limited the amount of research I could do with my second word. I saw color first, then child and finally chill. Figured child would positively identify among the three, but alas.
I didn’t see coyly at all. I didn’t see any words at all, in fact, so I started googling all possibilities. Never heard of a coble before, but it’s an English term so I figured maybe. Same deal with colly, another word I’ve never heard but is apparently also an English word. (Both English as in the UK.)
Pretty annoyed with that, but technically I have only myself to blame. I could have seen coyly but did not. At least I miracled a 6 out of it. Phew indeed.
EDIT: Forgot to include guess 5, which was cooly.
Wordle 408 3/6* 8/1/2022
CRAMP → Will I need to try any other vowels? I can use my favorite second word…
ROAST → Lucky T. So, ??ART. Not SMART, CHART. Maybe HEART, or…
QUART
I saw a few comments on it being a difficult word, so I went with the less common option at the end.

Just tried this myself the same way, and got the same results you did.
Maybe I was thinking of one time when I had switched computers and didn’t have hard mode on. In any case, thanks for straightening me out on that.

A hard-fought par. It took me quite some time to come up with BULKY, a word incorporating letters from every remaining CO___ word I could think of.
Hard mode would have spelled my doom on this one.
Hah! Take that, tricksy Wordle!

Total miss with my opening word. According to WordleBot, my second word eliminated all but 2 choices. Guessed right without knowing what the other word was. (Later learned it was COLON).

COLIC

COYLY
After the first two words, COLIC was the only word I could think of that fit. (Other than COULD, which is a past solutlon.) So I was stunned when it wasn’t the answer; I was out of ideas. I used what’s usually my standby third word as my fourth guess just to narrow down the possibilities, and after that I was looking at CO_LY, so I was able to fill in the remaining blank.

The time between guesses 4 and 5 seemed like an eternity of going through the alphabet letter by letter to look for possibilities. Probably only 20 minutes but seemed longer.
Wordle 409 6/6* 8/2/2022
QUART → Strikeout early.
POISE → Gone through the common vowels; is there a Y?
NOBLY → Got it, and finished the WoF letters. But now… double O?
WOOLY → Nope. Another possibility with double L?
FOLLY → One guess left. GODLY would fit, but probably not a Wordle word. Not much left… except if there’s a repeated Y?
COYLY
Phew is right. COOLY would have been a better fourth guess, probably could have had it in five. As it was, I almost missed it.
