MAUVE
CRANE
CHASE
CHAFE

I counted three CRANE->CHASE->CHAFEs so far. Same as me but an extra word to start.
I actually saw CHAFE before CHASE, but thought the latter was more likely.

:green_square::yellow_square::white_large_square::yellow_square::white_large_square:
:green_square::green_square::green_square::green_square::green_square:

EJECT → OK start. Try an A, and a couple common consonants…
CLEAR → Placed the E where there had already been one! Think better next time. At least the C is placed, and the A was a good guess…
CAGEY → CESAR? Naw. Can’t think of many 5 letter words starting with CE, so try the E on the end, A in the middle, H after C since no L or R… hmm…
CHAFE

Not sure why I had a blind spot where the S was on that last guess. I might have tried CHASE if I had thought of it first.

I think I’d have gotten it faster if I’d used FLAKE for the 3rd word. Oh, well.

STARE
WHALE
CHAFE

I’d thought of CHAFE before thinking of WHALE, but WHALE appealed because it let me test both ‘second letter L’ and ‘second letter H.’ (Given that a word ending _ _ALE other than ‘whale’ seemed ruled out.)

LATER
BEACH
CHAFE

For my second word, Beach just popped into my head…then I thought they could go with that considering people are dreaming of the beach now that it’s cold and snowy in many places, or if you are in “opposite land” somewhere, it’s summer, so it’d apply then too. :wink:

I am not sure I like having to now think in terms of possible “theme words”, but I’d have gone with the word in any case. Could only be two words from there…I chose the least likely one, and it paid off (take that Wordle!). :slight_smile:
