I saw PINKO first and decided that couldn’t possibly be it. But I still kept wanting to put an O in there, to no avail. After a while, I realized Y existed, and then it had to be PINKY.

On with the 4s.

I play Quordle everyday too. Maybe someone could start a quordle thread.

I also play Octordle (8 words, 13 guesses) and Nerdle, a math guessing game.

TOXIC → Not a great start, but I see a really good second guess…
RAISE → Which, other than the eliminations, turned out not-so-good. Still have the L & N left, so is it lucky…
LINDY → Nope. But the N worked. My next guess would work well with BRAIN…
PINKY

Scoredle said I should have tried DINGY after RAISE, but I’d prefer to try the L over the G. Some of the 18 possible words for the 4th guess are a little - well - hinky.

After PINCH I thought of PINGY (which does turn out to be a word) and PINKY, with the latter seeming a better guess for slot 4.

HORSE

This is the platonic ideal of my new strategy, which is actually extremely similar to my old one, just sticking with a more optimal opener. So far so good with a second consecutive 3.

We just recently had worse as an answer, and now horse. The deja vu is strong here in March.
