I probably should have played the T earlier, as well as checked out the terminal Y. Still pulled a par out of my butt somehow.
AISLE remains steady at 4.0.

BEGET → Slow start. Should try two vowels
TRAIN → Got one, plus the R. Where to place them? Also, need to try an S, so
STRAP → No S, but good luck with the P! T must be 4th, so starts with P and A in second, PART? means
PARTY
In Wordle, it takes you four guesses to find PARTY. In Soviet Russia, Party takes one guess to find you!

Actually. Scoredle says there was a word with A in last, so could have been a five.

SLANT
CHORE
PARTY You’ve got to fight for your right…

A lucky 3 - there were other words it could have been.

Really should have gone with a word like THEIR on 2, which would have given up the C of CHORE, my usual second word, in order to try to place the T. It wouldn’t have accomplished that, but it would have narrowed things down better.

This is the 100th day since my last loss (JOKER). Since then, I’ve been doing pretty good - 3 2’s, 53 3’s, 37 4’s, 6 5’s, and one 6, for 349 total guesses in 100 games and an average of 3.49. SLANT has been my starting word throughout this stretch.

It’s been 321 days since PARER, and I’ve played all of those. Since then, I have 15 2’s, 142 3’s, 133 4’s, 27 5’s, 3 6’s, and the one loss on JOKER which I’m averaging in as a 7, which gives me a 3.576 average over that longer period.
