RAINY → Something good to build on as I hunt for the solution…
SNIPE → Need to take a good cut at the next word…
KNIFE → Now I need to bring all that information into one whole…
UNITE

I love it when good wordplay comes together.

UNITE → Not a bad start. Common consonants and another vowel next
SHEAR → No hits on consonants. If the E is second letter… well, I’ve been biking a lot lately, so…
PEDAL → So close.
MEDAL

All quiet on the Wordle front. Interesting day/solution synergy.

STARE
BLEAK
DECAL
MEDAL

At step 4 it had to be either MEDAL or PEDAL (as far as I could see, anyway), and I went alphabetical.

If they are going to go with themed-to-the day solutions, of course that will make the game easier. And I get the impression that they think they should be making the game harder.

But we must take what comes…

Later narrows it down sufficiently all by itself. Wouldn’t be a bad opener, actually. This is now two 3s in a row for me; first streak in a while.

A decent chance at a 2 (ADULT was the only other word I saw that would have worked after my first guess) but happy to rack up another 3.

Even with four of the letters, I could only manage it in four. My wife got it in two.

My short streak of threes has ended. Very incremental progress on this one.
Still, after TAMER, I was down to FACET, CADET, and VALET. So choosing either of the C words guaranteed a five at most.
No regrets.
