Didn’t have much after two, but with all the vowels out, it wasn’t hard to figure out the terminal Y.

NAIVE → Appears to be a low-vowels day. Try some common consonants…
ROAST → Struck out. Try to position the A and find whatever consonants I can put together…
AWFUL → I’m sure that thinking of this word had nothing to do with how I’m doing so far on this Wordle. At least I made some progress with this guess…
ALLAY → Usually I’m ready to try a double letter by the fourth guess. In this case, I tried two, and it did not go well. At least I hit the Y and I know where the L goes, so…
AMPLY → This time I avoided the double letter, and it hurt me. Oh well, just one word left…

So I joined the Aspenglow club on this one.

A guess from my trusty list of ‘don’t have R, S, or T and also haven’t been solutions, yet’ words at step 2 turned out to be lucky.

Well that went well. When a P hits I like to check S over T (prose instead of trope) and that paid off nicely.
