I was almost certain that RAYON was a commercial brand name. It’s not. Luckily, I had no other choices by the end. A six is better than a fail, right, @Chefguy?
Surprisingly, rayon has been around since the 1890s. Wikipedia supplies no insight as to who came up with the name or why.

A synthetic fabric I haven’t heard the name of since the 1970s. Hell, maybe the 1960s. Grrr.
Yeah, this was a dumb one, and I made it worse by using a known letter in the same wrong place a second time. Bah!

Discovering the ‘Y’ was the only thing that saved my bacon today.
Yeah, but have you ever forgotten to include a letter that you already have? That’s a fun reminder that your mind is going.
LOL, no, not… yet. I’m sure it’s coming!
Of all the things I’ve lost, I miss my mind the most.

CLEAR → Good start. I see a word to knock out two more vowels and a comcon, so I’ll take it
RATIO → Good placement, plus the O - which must be in 4th, as RAO?? goes nowhere. I’ll try an element
RADON → Should have tried a synthetic fiber
RAYON
Scoredle says my second guess went from 691 possible words to 3 - and naturally, it would have chosen the answer third. Sigh.

I saw rayon first, and then radon immediately after, but I kept looking because neither felt like wordle answers. Finally I saw a baron and thought, okay, that’s a legitimate answer word. Doh!

After 2 I was immediately looking for something that ended with ERT, which meant as a placeholder I typed in XXERT. It was a very short leap from there.
