I should have trusted my gut; after the first word, I immediately thought of “glean,” but then I decided “clean” was more likely. Could’ve gotten it in two. :frowning:

Isn’t that so frustrating?

5464

It sure is!

5465

Ha ! I just did exactly the same thing (changed GLEAN to CLEAN !) - except i’d have got 3 instead of 4

Mine is almost identical to five days ago.
Same first word - CRANE - same result
Same second word - LADEN - The only difference five days ago is the fourth letter was green.
GLEAN - five days ago it was ALIEN

The first guess was completely wrong. Picked the second guess out of thin air.

LOUPE
CLEAN
GLEAN

A pleasantly surprising three. With CLEAN, I just wanted to add another vowel and a common consonant; didn’t expect four “greens.” It’s nice when that happens.

CLING
GLEAN

I figured after the first guess came up so good I had a shot at a two. Starts of NL and ?LN went nowhere (second one could have been ULNAR, but I needed to place the G) and ?LG wasn’t going to end up ALGAE, so GL?N? or GL??N were it, and since it wasn’t GLINT (“I” was already eliminated) the answer was all that was left.

Yet another ‘thought of glean and clean and chose the more-common word first’ play, here. Still, the whole shebang took only three minutes, which works for me!

I thought I had tomorrow’s in three. Darn thing.
