For some reason, I was sure today’s solution had already been used, and I was groping around unsuccessfully for any other word that would work for my third guess. (Narrator: there weren’t any.) But then I checked my spreadsheet, and nope, it hadn’t been used. Until today, of course.

Needed that 3 after yesterday’s disaster of a 6.

I was going to say I had a super easy, super fast 2 today, but yours was even easier/faster! Took me less than a minute today. According to Wordlebot, only one choice after my first.

FOLLY → Leadoff strikeout. Time for another favorite second guess…
HEIST → Good one! But I spent too much time trying to place the T here, and too little thinking about alternatives with more vowels. So I tried
TENTH → …which duplicated the E in second, which was dumb, because if I had thought a little more, and tried an R-word instead of an N-word, I might have arrived at
EARTH

Probably should have been a 3.

@RTFirefly, I’m so glad your streak of bad luck is broken at last!


Me, I’m still enjoying a lucky stretch. This was an easy 2.

When I saw the position of the ‘T’, I knew it had to be EARTH. I, too, was surprised it hadn’t already been used.

From a clean miss to a three. I’ll take it!
(I almost went with HEART at two, which would have made for an interesting grid.)

Our planet must be upset about global warming. (I can’t say I blame it!)

LOL, you and I had identical thoughts on this!
