CRANE
LADEN - still three yellows
SNEAK - apparently the only other word left is ENEMA and I don’t want that

Never mind.

If you saw my long rambling post here about nobody guessing speak, the explanation was “a bunch of people checked N.” Duh.

I like it when the day starts like this.

No one I know, though.

You may not know him personally, but we all seem to talk about him quite a bit.

Touché. Well done! :smiley:

SNEAK

Pretty much over before it began. Scoredle listed 50 possible guesses; I counted 13 that weren’t plurals or too obscure to be likely, so basically blind luck today.

CARRY → OK start, perhaps an E and some common consonants…
TASED → Not bad, but I should have moved the A around. Alas… well, build with what we have…
SHEAF → Placed all three yellows. I don’t think this is a trap…
SPEAK → Only one letter left…
SNEAK

I thought my second guess was a mistake, but it turned out OK. STEAM would have worked better though.

I’ve been rereading Lord of the Rings and the scene where Gollum called Shelob’s Sneak, so the word was in my mind

It’s always fun getting it in 2. :slight_smile: It was the first word that came to me to try after my start word, so I went for it, and lo’ and behold…all greens!

After three guesses, all I had was a measly two letters, and I didn’t have the positions of either one. And I still managed to solve it in 4.
