IRATE
TALON
TOPAZ

According to WordleBot, the other available word was TODAY, which I didn’t think of and wouldn’t have used even if I had, since it was a prior answer.

NOISE
TORCH
TODAY
TOTAL
TOPAZ

No three for me. I saw TOPAZ before TOTAL, but thought the latter to be a more likely solution. Oh well.
NOISE has now taken over as my worst starting word, going from a 4.55 to a 4.58 average. (I’m working my way up the list on this go-around.)

CRONE → Slow start, but some good knockouts
HOIST → A & U left among the vowels. Where should the T go? I’ll take a page from Scoredle’s book and try it in two places…
TOTAL → Got one of them. Time to try some uncommon consonants
TODAY → And now I’m mystified. Oh, wait, the Z…
TOPAZ

Gotta hand it to all of today’s 3s - I could barely imagine a guess with a Z that early.

Hi! You don’t have to put the “cut-and-paste” from Wordle into spoiler tags. It’s already spoilered. Just any text you want to blur.

Like this:

[/spoiler]This text will be blurred[/spoiler]

(I put an extra slash at the beginning [spoiler].) Just trying to help. If I’m being annoying, I’ll back off.

2197

Not annoying. It was new to me. I didnt grow up with hand held phone internet.

I will try to do better

:yellow_square::green_square::green_square::white_large_square::white_large_square:
:green_square::green_square::green_square::green_square::green_square:

TOPAZ → A really good start. P to the front, O in the middle, try another vowel and a couple common consonants…
PROLE → Good pickup on R. That unplaced P really limits things. I’m kinda feeling initial D here. DROPS… it’s valid, but Wordle-excluded. Little early for double-O, usually, but I’ll give it a try…
DROOP

Scoredle points out that GROUP and CROUP were also in play.
