MEALY → Could be another vowel in there… I’ll check one, along with a couple common consonants…
RAYON → Strikeout on new letters, but it looks like it starts with Y… S and T are still out there, can’t find anything with S but there’s a long shot with T…
YACHT
Starting with MEALY was a plus - two letters (especially the Y) right off the bat.

Two 3s in a row!
After a clean miss I narrowed it down to only one option with my second guess. Took a while, though, to find a word with the H either after the A or before the T.

Guess 2 is probably unlikely to be a Wordle solution (as its slang body-part association may have taken over its earlier, wider meaning). But I wasn’t seeing anything else to test A, I, and T. After that it was a matter of testing consonant clusters.

The CHT-ending was difficult for me, I kept being drawn to it, but I thought that was just because it’s fairly common in German—lacht, Macht, Pacht, facht, Wacht, sucht, Bucht, locht, Licht, Wucht, pocht, Sucht… So it took me a while to see YACHT. Scoredle says the only other guess would’ve been TAKHT. That’s… not a word, is it?
With all five letters after my first two gusses, a three was a piece of cake.

After laying out my default strategy yesterday, I say to myself, hey, am I just playing on autopilot, here? Wouldn’t it be more fun to try a completely new approach? And the answer is: no.
Hi, what’s with the 875 / 50 / 5 / 1?

It’s the number of words that are still possible solutions at each step according to Scoredle. (It’s starting from the list of 14,855 legal guesses, not the list of ~2300 solutions.)
