I would be interested to know if there were any more options after the third guess. I had trouble thinking of another word that fit.

SLATE

I didn’t remember what Flout meant, but after Clout, it was the only thing that fit, so I went with it, assuming Wordle would let it through if it was a real word.

Completely unexpected three. I almost went with a double O, but figured I might as well try the U first. I’ll take it!

FOGGY → Huh, last three words have all started with F. It’s made my openings the last two days look brilliant. Let’s see, FL- or FR-?
FROST → Must be FL. FLO?T… I’ll go with A instead of U.
FLOAT → Nope, shouldn’t have been such a rule-follower
FLOUT

Played well (thanks to some luck) but missed the 50-50 chance for a 3.

Same path as Bullitt, except we chose different second ‘can’t be the answer because it’s a plural noun, but will give useful information’ guesses.

Shouldn’t have guessed cargo; I think that’s already been an answer.

This one just kinda fell into my lap. Feels like payback for yesterday’s somewhat disappointing 4.
