Oh, duh, neither of those could fit since you identified the second vowel. Never mind, wasn’t awake yet.

INTER
Coulda been a three. I came up with INTER first, but thought it might be too morbid or have negative connotations. Yeah, I overthink things.
Wordle 442 5/6* 9/4/2022
GULLY → Swing and a miss - but not unexpected with that word
STARE → A good starting word, and a good result
TREND → Four letters unsorted. I feel like there’s only so many assortments - and do I have a repeat?
ENTER → No repeat, so it’s obviously
INTER
Fortunately, I didn’t get, uh, buried by GULLY.
Coulda shoulda had this one in two, but I outsmarted myself.

IRATE
INERT
INTER
I had ‘INTER’ first, then decided to keep looking. Found ‘INERT’ and somehow thought it was the more likely word. Nope. Oh, well.
Was sure tomorrow’s couldn’t have been this word, but also couldn’t think of anything else.

INTER
Like others posting here, I resisted trying INTER because it seemed too morbid for Wordle. But after guess 4 it was the only possibility (with others ruled out by disallowed letters).

I almost got it in 3 but like @Aspenglow I thought that INERT was more likely than INTER. Bah humbug.

I kept trying to use the common letters but couldn’t find any way to use SH except SHOWY which I know was already a word. I got lucky again just hunting for letters.

Whoop? Seriously? Get the fuck outta here, Wordle.
Would have been a good day for my clomp opener. C’est la vie. (Actually, I would have followed clomp up with group almost certainly. Then probably been stuck and never thought of whoop, since clomp would have prevented me from guessing whomp, which I kind of needed to drag me to whoop.)

SLANT => zip
CHORE => got the HO in place
WHOOP => my reaction to getting the 3 I deserved yesterday!
This one was fun. My usual threshold before I leave my usual SLANT-CHORE-DUMPY progression of identifying/eliminating letters in/from the solution, and start actually trying to get the solution, is three letters or two consonants, not necessarily in place.
This time, with the _HO beginning in place after my second guess, I realized that there just weren’t that many remaining letters that could hit leadoff, since CHO, SHO, and THO were already out; I was close enough to my threshold as to make no difference. And even among the remaining possibilities, with PHO and WHO being the primary remaining alternatives, having L,N,R,S, and T out as the fourth letter really cut down on things, as did no silent E at the end. Things were thinned down enough that I could actually skim my dead-trees dictionary for possibilities in just a few minutes. (I’ll do that when feasible. It usually isn’t.) The solution was the only possibility I could find. Whoopee!!

After I finished I checked and there were only four possible words after the second word. The other three are BUXOM, GUMBO and JUMBO, All are not easy to find.
