I really didn’t expect the streak of 2s to go on for a fourth day, so I was really hoping it would end with a 3. Got my wish!
And congrats to @gkster for joining the ‘hat trick of 2s’ club!

> _S_TONE → Hmm. Wordle hates plurals, but there’s one that fits so well…
> LAI_RS_ → O-fer the vowels. S must be in one of the middle slots. There’s a rather bogus word that can test both U and Y
> _RUSH_Y → S doesn’t go well in second, so 4th, followed by H, U in middle - hmm, C or B? Try alpha order
> **BRUSH**
>
> Won the coin flip at the end. If I hadn’t obsessed on the vowel hunt on the third guess, I might have had a three, but I suspect I would have lost the coin flip that time.
