IRATE
THOSE
THYME

I’m another who remembered THEME from last week. I remembered because I had tried THYME before THEME, and it was wrong. So it had to be the correct answer this week.

Since THEME and THOSE have already been winners, and an E ruled out for position 3, I’m not sure there were any other options but THYME for step 4.

Not really…still playing. Though I thought fitting lyrics for how I’ve been feeling about Wordle lately :laughing: (and now I gotta go pull up that song…haven’t listened to it in a while - thanks for that!)

DOUBT

Was getting bored so I decided to try a new start word only to have to come up with a new second word. I should not have had so much doubt.

I don’t think I was ever getting a 3 on this one. If I had managed to check M instead of N in my second guess, my third guess would have almost certainly been donut, not doubt. So this is looking like a guaranteed 4 for my strategy all the way.

ALPHA → Not much from that - not even a second vowel. Moving on…
SHIRE → Good luck with both the H placement and the fresh E! CHORE is not an option, try a leading T…
THREE → why o why do I try something with an R again? Well, at least I’m down to one vowel and thus one word left…
THYME

Fun fact: parsley, sage, and rosemary will not be Wordle answers (none have exactly five letters.)
