BIRTH → If you had told me I would hit with one letter, that’s not the letter I’d have guessed. Two vowels and two common cononants…
BOSUN → Clean miss. Still haven’t tried A & E, or an L…
BLADE → OK, looks like two options left… I’ll try M over Z…
BLAME
I didn’t realize before how good of a trap BLA-E is. Good thing R & S were already gone…
It’s the difference between light mode and dark mode, respectively.
I think that’s backwards. I use dark mode and get grey, yellow and green.
You don’t have gray (white), your misses are black.
Now I’m also wondering where the blue and orange comes from, because I’m seeing both light and dark mode responses here where the only difference is the misses are either white (gray) or black. Including both yours and mine, where dark mode is green, yellow and black.
So I don’t actually know where the blue and orange comes from.
Hmmm, might be a combination of using dark mode in Wordle and which interface theme you use here on the SDMB.
My squares show up to me as white, yellow and green (you’re right, I get no gray). @Wheelz’s show up as dark gray, blue and orange. My SDMB interface theme is Vincent, which is dark.
That’s confusing because I use the regular light mode on the dope, but you and I have the same dark mode color scheme in Wordle. We need to get the Scooby gang on this mystery.
LOL, I’ll second that motion!
There’s a setting called “High Contrast Mode” that changes yellow and green to blue and orange for us color-impaired folks.
Ah, well that makes sense. Thanks much!

MIRTH
BIRTH
Another MIRTH before BIRTH guess (FIRTH would have been my next guess). Somehow I though BIRTH might have seemed indelicate to the NYT editor, making MIRTH more likely. Not so!

I initially thought of BURLY but decided to go for the more common letter. I deserve this one after yesterday.

Got stuck in the trap 
Could have gone with a sleuth word early, but decided to try and solve without one and hoped to get lucky. Wasn’t my day.
Good analogy

ROILS
SURLY
All vowels except u gone after the first two guesses, and the R, L, and S made it a quick round.
Scoredly tells me there were two guesses for the last one, SURLY and… SRSLY? I mean, …for real?
BLAME → With A & E out, I’ll try something with O & U…
LOUTS → Let’s try something with our 3 letters in a row, from the start…
SULLY → Ah, so close…
SURLY
I think Scoredle has influenced me to try repeated letters earlier. Paid off here…

SLART => Only one possibility:
SURLY => Nah, hard to feel surly after getting a 2. 
You know what SURLY is, don’t you? It’s the opposite of SLATE.
