I was fortunate to have narrowed it to two possibilities after three, and then unfortunate to choose the wrong one. Still, looks like I should feel happy to escape with a win at all today.

Skin of my teeth; like others, I resisted “riper”. Wasn’t really anything else left at that point, though. (Unless they decide that the Ancient Mariner is a “rimer,” I guess.)

Glad to get a 4 with this one, given what I had after my first three words.

Guess 4 was stupid, forgetting the A. Being honest with myself, even not making that mistake I think I still get a 5 here. After 3 I was fixated on beginning with G.
And so my 5 streak begins! *groan*

That one was rough. By the time I did guess 3, I knew the word had to match _AG_E but couldn’t think of a single word that could match that. I was fiddling with all of the remaining letters for way too long.
Scoredle tells me there were only two words available at that point: VAUGE and BAGIE (?).
I guess there’s a sweet spot between the trap with a combo that matches a dozen common words and a combo that matches only a single common word.

SPOIL - my usual vowel clearing word, which narrowed things significantly

RIPER → Little enough to start with. Common letters on the way…
STEAL → No consonants. Shift the vowels over one place and try again…
HEADY → Still no consonants. But I have the odd feeling there’s another vowel in there, so keep trying…
ABOVE → So, ?AV?E - can’t think of a consonant coming between V & E here, so ?AVUE, but that’s nowhere, so VA??E, and if it’s VA?UE but not VALUE, it must be

This seems a generally rough word, especially if you wait so long to get the U out…
