My streak ends at 358. 
I should have waited until later. I had a few minutes before leaving for an appointment and thought I’d go ahead and bang out the Wordle. I was distracted and my wife was talking at me, and I played it very poorly.
But it’s a shit word.

I was starting to feel like I was getting back into the swing of things, but nope. At least I didn’t fail, but this one irked me for too many reasons to go into. 
I will say though…5 K’s so far this month? I avoided it as it’s not super common and we just had two of them very recently. I could have done a sleuth word to guarantee a 5, but I really was thinking it had to be Muddy or Muggy.

Like others, I’m not a fan of this solution.
I’ll put it this way: I only use what I consider valid Wordle answers as guesses. I just find it appealing when all the words are simple and mundane. I would not have considered using either of the last two solutions as a guess.

CHARD → Little enough to start with. That C, though - let’s try it before a terminal K…
STICK → Try again with the CK together in 3&4. Can’t be COCKY, (hehe), haven’t tried N or M yet, perhaps…
MUCKY
Lucky. If I’d have thought of LUCKY, I probably would have tried it, which would have been unlucky.

First 2 in just over a month, so that felt good. The only other two possible solutions I could see were ALTAR and ULTRA, and they’d both been used. That list of past solutions is a big help!

I might use that if I couldn’t come up with any alternative, but otherwise it seems similar to a cheat code, for lack of a more friendly word.
I don’t use the list either. Seems like it might actually hinder you in some cases if one is reluctant to use what now amounts to 580 words.
