Happy to score a three after a clean miss. My second guess was fortunate - or very smart!

Is it just me, or has there been a lengthy run of words with doubled letters?
Yes Morgyn there has been several days with that quirk, and I lost them all. Including today.
I put in several odd words but did not even see the word rugby
If that had been the answer I would not have been mad. With the actual word - I am mad.

Quite possibly neither OPIUM nor QUEER are on the Wordle solutions list, given that they are ‘controversial.’ Still, they narrowed down the possible vowels in today’s winner to U alone (and after that, there aren’t that many options that weren’t already precluded by the eliminated letters).

My second word was rather fortuitous. Quick-n-easy one for me today. 
And finally the R shows up (that makes just 2 of them this month).

Boo, hiss! Who says riper? I would say “more ripe.” This would have been a fun one if the answer were ripen, as it should have been. Riper? That’s some bullshit.

SWEAT → Clean miss. Let’s try another pair of vowels…
BROIL → Not many vowels left - and where should that R go?
MURKY → Still don’t have it, but got the vowels. Let’s try the R in first. Unfortunately, if it is, that would mean a double letter…
RUNNY → But not that one. Should be Ds…
RUDDY
Not a bad five after that start.

NICHE => It’s a _I_ER word. Lots of them, unfortunately!
PAVED => knocked it down to RIPER and WIPER
WIPER => wrong choice
RIPER => hate these _ER comparative endings (more ripe)
Joining the parade of 5’s today.

Wordle 613 3/6* 2/22/2023
RUDDY → Not a great start, but to be expected. Try something with two vowels… and what common consonants I can muster up
RIPEN → I thought of RITES just as I was hitting enter, and I’m glad I didn’t earlier. Only word I can think of here has a repeat, but I’m apparently lucky today…
RIPER
ROIST would have been another possible second guess, and would have put me in a worse position.
