ANISE
IDEAL
EMAIL

Hitting all the vowels in my start word was a great start. Figured it was a vowel starting word…I had both Ideal and Email to decide between, and just chose the wrong one. Not complaining mind you, this is my first 3 of the month, so yay! :slight_smile:

Probably should have guessed birth before mirth, but I was dazzled by the M.

Just a lucky guess - possibilities were MIRTH or GIRTH.

REVEL → E must be 1st or 3rd. I’d like another vowel, and I’ll take a page from Scoredle’s book and try a(nother) repeated letter…
QUELL → So E is first. I feel really low on all letters, but I thought of one that tries both A & I, so…
EMAIL
Feels rather lucky. For the record, Scoredle didn’t go repeated L after my first guess, instead recommended STEAL, which was a better second guess.

Waiting to see if @Aspenglow got it in two again as well. According to Wordlebot, there were 5 words after the first guess.

Nope, not so fortunate for me today. I had to settle for a 3. :wink:

I should have slowed down and tried one of the BIRTH, GIRTH or MIRTH words for my second try (and it would have been BIRTH first), because that would have decisively eliminated all but the correct word. Instead I went with the first word that popped into my brain. Caffeine-deprived brain. That’s my story and I’m sticking with it.
