Bit by bit on this one. Happy to notch a four after coming up empty on the first word, actually.

Sticking with my streak of 4s.

After two guesses, the solution didn’t look at all obvious, but it was the only word I could think of that fit. (Other than some plurals like bolts, jolts, and volts, but we know Wardle eschewed plurals.) Was certainly relieved to see it turn green.

Humblebrag! :smiley:

Well, shoot. I forgot to play yesterday. Streak restarted. :cry:

But it’s a nice start.

THEME → Not a bad start, but not great either
STAIR → Took out a lot of common letters with that one. Only 3 vowels left…
FLOUT → Well struck! T in 3rd or 4th. If 3rd, LOT?F or ?LTOF, no help there, in 4th, L?FTO or LOFT?..
LOFTY

This one flowed, but getting the F was the real coup. I noticed a lot of guessers going for LOTTO instead of LOFTY - perhaps it is no longer double-letter month for Wordle.

An O and a T…try words starting with T that haven’t yet been winners…used TOADY not too long ago; try that…okay. The T has to be in fourth position. So…_OBTY? _OCTY? _OFTY? The last is most likely; L would work…

This is the seventh three in a row (a week of threes). It looks like this will happen about once a year or so based on probabilities.

CRANE
TOILS - Need a word that starts with T, and has A and I with neither in the third position.
TIBIA - Maybe the only possible word.

Any system’s going to have its weak spots, and this solution fell into a couple of mine. Occasionally 5s are gonna happen on that account, and I’d had a good run of 3s lately, so I’m not complaining.

TODAY

Took me forever to see today. Like, 20 to 30 minutes, then when that wasn’t it I gave up in disgust and went to sleep. This morning I saw tibia after maybe 5 minutes, so it seems the sleep helped. But still, not good.

I suspect today has already been used as an answer, but there was no way I was getting tibia after my first two guesses.

6099

This was a tricky one for me, but I got it. I needed 6 guesses.
