I don’t know why the last one didn’t occur to me instead of the second last one.

I had two options on my fourth word and went the wrong way. I don’t know why I went that way, but I did.

Another strong start followed by a whiff. I should think more about letter frequency when I have choices between remaining letters.

I struggled with it today because I got none of the letters with my beginning word. That’s not happened before. However, I managed it in the end.

No doubt.

Oh, I thought of even a couple more before I hit the right one today.

WHACK → OK then. Let’s try some common letters
INTER → I still don’t have a vowel. OUY are left, try two of em
STONY → I figure there must be a U also, so OUN, any TOUN? words? More like ?OUNT… but COUNT is out, so

Starting with yesterday’s solution wasn’t great - uncommon letters and no matches - but one letter from it helped in the end game.

After my 2nd guess I realized there wasn’t anything that fit that began with E, so I was looking at the pattern ?ER??. See which post I’m replying to in this thread. Very similar pattern and the only time I ever failed to solve the day’s puzzle in six.
I thought pretty hard about which of the many remaining possibilities to try next.

Finding Byrdle harder going, largely because the options include names. Took me all six to find “FINZI”.
