I, too, could have had this in 3 if I didn’t think the word was so far-fetched. I had it down to MATEY, MATED AND TAMED. I didn’t think MATED or TAMED were possible because past tense, but by trying MATED first, I eliminated both if I was wrong and at least preserved a 4. Bastiches.

BLURB → L & R redeem this from being a really awful start word. Moving on…
THOSE → Two hits. Still need more consonants… and more vowels, more everything really…
INEPT → Oh boy. I feel like I’m in trouble here. Need to try A, and while past tense is frowned upon, perhaps in auxiliary form…
FATED → Only see one think it could be. But that’s really slangy…
MATEY
Count me as another “Sheesh”, and not just because it stretched my streak of fives…

MATEY
After guess 3 I still had not one single green (‘known position of a letter’ for those who use other color schemes). So I tried MATEY on the theory that it surely would pin down the positions of my A, E, and/or T.
If not for the fact that SHEESH is six letters, I bet it would be a future Wordle solution. It’s at about the same level of respectability as MATEY.
(Don’t be surprised if YEESH is a solution heading toward us someday soon, though!)
It’s going to turn out that the editor is legitimately evil, and the talk like a pirate day answer will be Arrrr.
I know it’s a few days old now (#579: MUCKY), but that was the first time that I’ve had to go to my third ‘all new letters’ guess. STARE and LINGO resulted in all greys, and then CHUMP had the three yellows, which helped me get it on the 4th try.

Super unlucky guess to super lucky guess according to WB.

MATEY
And the only non-pirate use of MATEY I’ve seen is in a British series of girls’ books, from the 1930s-1960s, about a boarding school. Matey is what they call the school Matron (a nurse / housekeeper)
It’s also Australian slang, but still!

MATEY → Not a great start, but lots of possibilities for the next word…
REINS → … and none of them come through. Could it be a lone E?
WHELP → Nope, but at least I found an L. Not many places for the E to go, I’ll try it on the end… and which other vowel? I’ll go O…
GLOVE → No O, but placed my L & E. But maybe E could go first as well…
ELUDE
My streak of 5s continues. Probably should have gone vowel hunting earlier. Also, this is what I get for trying Wordle after I stay up late…
