OPERA
ROUST
CHOIR
FLOOR
After using three turns just to get two letters in place, I was proud of myself for saving par. Turns out FLOOR was the only possible word left anyway. Took me a while to see it though.
I was trying to think of other 5-letter words ending in OOR, but SPOOR was the only one I could come up with, and of course you’d eliminated that with your second guess.
Even WordleBot was impressed.
(Not really.)
It takes a lot
to impress a bot
They feel, in truth,
Humans have no couth.

STARE
ROUGH
FLOOR
ROUGH let me test two more vowels; after that I was looking for a consonant-pair beginning. With H eliminated as second half of a pair, I tried L: BLO__, CLO__, FLO__, PLO__. FLOOR was the most obviously-Wordle-ish choice that had not already been a solution.
I gots couth!
I gots couth I ain’t even used yet!
If you have to say it, then …
(I had to look that up; haven’t read Lawrence Sanders in years…)

FLOPS
FLOOR
After my second word, I had 4 possible words that I could see, so I went for a sacrificial word to guarantee getting it in four. You gotta do what you gotta do.

And take that, Wordlebot!
“You had two words to pick from and you chose the right one! Excellent work. And you bested me — I would’ve guessed FLOUR”
If one is not
A clever snot
And yet, forsooth!
They’ll steal your tooth
If worth a lot –
And won’t get caught.
Then … what?
My dad used to say it. He’d do something or other, we’d accuse him of being uncouth, and that’s how he’d respond.
He also used to say (and I’m attempting to spell this more or less phonetically) that he was “handsome, dee-bone-air, swavey, and modest to a fare-thee-well.”

RATIO
LATCH
CHUMP
CATCH
I am happy with par. After the second guess I had 6 options (B,C,H,M,P,W). I remembered W was already a word. So I wanted to eliminate at least three with either C or H being first to see if they were doubles. If that had struck out I would have gone with a word starting with H and with a B in it , maybe HOBBY?.

CATCH
Woohoo! Not just a 3, but a quick and easy 3.
Wordle 482 3/6* 10/14/2022
EQUAL → Three vowels gone! Can I test two more along with the L?
TOILS → Yes. Where to try the L? Center, second or start? Only one O, and it’s not in position 2… do I have repeat Os or even a double? It’s a bit early, but let’s try…
FLOOR
I put some skull sweat into it, but it was still pretty lucky.

Catch
I almost got this in two. I was going to try “catch” for the second word,
but it has two “c’s” and I don’t want to repeat letters when I’m throwing out guesses.

SLANT
CHORE => getting that C as the first letter was big, no _ATCH trap
CATCH
“There was only one catch, and it was Catch-22.”

CRANE - Good day to start with a C
TAILS
CATTY - I saw two words. If there are others at least this will let me know where the T is
CATCH - it’s the other word

I see _ATCH words beginning with B,C,H,L,M,P, and W. That’s seven of them - more choices than available guesses, natch.
And of course in Thurber’s The 13 Clocks, the Duke of Coffin Castle threatens to slit foes “from your guggle to your zatch” and feed them to the Todal.

CAUSE
CABIN
CATCH
Hitting on CA right off the bat was nice. I saw CABIN, CATCH, and CATTY, which would have made CATCH a more logical second guess, but for some reason I had a feeling it was going to be CABIN. My feeling was wrong.
But I was quite lucky to get this three, as I’d missed seeing CARRY, CAROL, CARAT, CARGO, CADDY, CAROM, and a few other less likely words. Whoops. I blame last night’s tequila.
