OUTER
UNCUT
UNLIT

With T and U, I looked at TAUNT (already a solution) and other start-with-T words, but just couldn’t see anything. Then a look at U-start words; UNCUT hadn’t been a solution so gave it a try. Next I considered UNSIT (since UNFIT had already been a solution), but decided UNLIT was more likely.

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

“Ends with E” words, with A likely in 2nd position, generated some options with N in the middle. Worth a shot, and surprisingly DANCE hadn’t yet been a solution.

Well, it’s about time! :slight_smile: I had four words I could see after my start word, and just was feelin’ in a dancy mood. :dancer:

Was so focused on short-circuiting the _IGHT trap that when it didn’t pan out I completely lost focus and moved the green I. Doh!

A while back, someone posted something to the effect that the Wordle site reveals what the averaged score was for the previous word. If this is true, what were the words with the lowest and highest scores? It looks like ‘dance’ was way on the easy side.

Went from nothing on the opener to a potentially tricky word in four. I’ll take it.

So annoying. I had the right word at 3, but psyched myself into a 4.
