Wordle is teasing me about that 2 I didn’t get yesterday, but the pleasing symmetrical pattern makes me happy.

ARISE
SLATE

Nice to hit two vowels with the start word. I saw the S_A_E trap right away but decided to check out some common consonants before resorting to a test word. Luck was on my side today!

CHORD → Not much to work with. Try two vowels, and two common consonants?
TASER → Well. Trap? K, M, P, T, X all possible; X very likely given Wordle’s predlilections so I think I’m safe, let’s try
TAPER

Gotta love those words with lots of common letters.

:green_square::green_square::green_square::green_square::green_square:

TAPER → Good letters to start with. Try S, and L or N?
STALE → Well, that resolves it. Also, (in retrospect), 5th to do this.
SLATE

I think I did this other other way around when STALE was the solution word.

Wish I’d trusted my first instinct. I coulda had a 2!

It was either SLATE or SWATH for guess 3, and I luckily tried the former first.
