Bah. I should have caught on to the double O sooner. Took me way too long to see.
I don’t keep track of previous winning words, but BLOKE was a memorable one, so at least I didn’t waste a guess on that (which I totally would have otherwise).
Starting to lose interest in playing the game. May waver a bit going forward. Here’s tomorrow’s.

Screwed up on my third try by repeating a letter I already knew was eliminated. And I, too, failed to try the double ‘O’ words sooner. Lucky for me, Try Number 6 was the only option remaining – and it still took me forever to figure it out!!

BOOBY
BOOZE
After guess 2 I was pretty flummoxed. Decided after a while I wanted to try a Y-ending and the only word I could think of was BOOBY…which I half-thought would be disallowed (despite the existence of the birds). But it took, and I belatedly looked it up–it’s been a winning word! And so has BOOZY!!! (“Booze” was the only logical guess, after that.)
BOOZE, BOOZY, and BOOBY: truly Wordle’s finest hours.
TIBIA → Not the letter I’d have expected to hit…
PROBE → OK, only two spots left for the B. Still Britishisms for words?
BLOKE → Missed that one. But, can’t see many consonants to go in second, so probably another vowel. U? Nah. Double O? So, BOOLE, BOONE (both proper nouns) or
BOOZE
Another repeated letter answer.

Wordle 450 6/6
Those squares in the first five rows represent the same two letters. After getting them, I couldn’t get another hit. So in my final try, I was working with just two clues and a whole bunch of misses.

BOOZE
Yet another double letter word. No way a random word generator, or whatever they use, is spitting out that many double letter words in one month. And while Booze is a common word, it’s considered slang, which I thought they didn’t use (so I didn’t play it till last), but apparently they do. After my 3rd word, I had to do a “sleuth word” to check several words, else I could easily fail with too many words to choose from. It worked in that it left me with two possible words, and I chose what I thought was most likely, but nope. Ugh. At least it wasn’t a fail, but it wasn’t fun.

A bunch of weird guesses but I will take the four.
Me too. It hasn’t been as fun ever since NYT took over. If they just let a random word generator pick the daily words, it’d be more balanced, which is how it used to be.

I had a bad feeling after 3 that I was in a deadly trap, but actually there were very few options so an unspectacular 4.

SLANT => a good start
CHORE => ok, the H is probably last, maybe a PH, wait, maybe it can be right after the L…

TOILS - Ignore the A and looking for other letters. Found the L
LUMPY - Still ignoring the A and looking for other letters. Found the P. And E, I, O, U and Y are eliminated.

I checked the word list regarding words with double letters (not necessarily consecutive).
About 32 percent of all words have double letters.
A streak like the one now will only happen one more time - in 2027.
But, this is basically a one out of a thousand situation. You would expect this to happen about one out of a thousand days. We just happen to be in the one out of a thousand situation.
Woot! Lucky first word for me!

Three fives in a row for me. Unless I missed something, I had one option with the A in the four-spot and one with the A in the five-spot, so it was down to a coin flip.
At least I made a pretty design.
