JOUST → Clean whiff. At least it KOs S, T and two vowels. Let’s try 3 remaining vowels…
ALIEN → Good guess! That IN should go well together, but I can’t work an H in. try something with an R…
DINER → Must be IN?ER, but not INNER, or so I would…

Fun play. A 3 might have been possible, but it would have been a stretch.
No Wordle for me today. Union members at the Times are striking and asked that people not use any NYT content.
My streak wasn’t all that long, so I don’t care that I’m resetting it. I will miss figuring it out, though.

I felt really lucky to get it in 3 especially since according to WordleBot there were still 20 possible solutions after my 2nd guess.
And @Morgyn I’d forgotten all about the strike. Is the union asking us to continue avoiding NYT content on Friday? My streak isn’t long either so I’m OK with breaking it.

Well, it was good for a couple of days. Sometimes I don’t think it through and go with my first thought and sometimes that doesn’t work. Also sometimes I reuse a letter that is not in the word by mistake. Should have been GRAIN on three and would have got it in four.

HEART looking for x R A x x now. On a whim, looking at BRAxx, how about BRAID? Worth a shot.
BRAID Whoop dee doo!
INFER → Hmm. Try a couple more common consonants, and an A…

My apologies to the NYT News Guild for crossing the virtual picket line yesterday to play.

It was either STAID or BRAID. Lost the virtual coin flip. Should have gone with the more common word, I guess, but I outsmarted myself.

Lucky with the 2nd try, starting with a ‘B’. I almost tried a ‘G’ starter.
Same here. I played before I was aware there was a request to refrain. But this was, I’d guess, only the first of several work stoppages; I’ll be glad to honor a future request. (I stopped feeling emotional about a streak the first time I lost; once that 100% left, it all became somewhat academic.)
