To my detriment, I’ve learned I have an aversion to playing words that start with a vowel. Ironic, considering my opening word.

Congrats to all the 3s and 2s today! :confetti_ball: :tada: :fireworks:

May I just say I really admire your devil-may-care approach to this game? You clearly have a playful side. I will hope for GLEAN tomorrow, too. :slight_smile:

A lucky 3; it could’ve also been ANGLE or ANKLE.

It was a year ago today that PARER stumped a hell of a lot of players, including myself.

Here’s how I’ve done in the year since:

2 - 17 times
3 - 162 "
4 - 149 "
5 - 31 "
6 - 5 " (two of which were in the last 10 days, dammit!)
X - 1 " (JOKER)

Averaging in the loss on JOKER as a 7, I have a 3.58 average for the past year.

Apparently my first two guesses narrowed it down to just a couple of possibilities, but there was really no way for me to know that, so I kept on fishing for letters.

Just for your NSFW entertainment, here are Scoredle’s first few choices after my second guess:

I would like to say it was overpowered by my first guess, except that the first word I saw after 2 was mucus, which I didn’t think would be the answer. It’s understandable how I saw ficus after mucus, but I could have just as easily seen music after mucus. It certainly is a more common word.

In one sense I took eight hours to solve this one; in another, less than three minutes. Maybe I’m better at this when I’m asleep.
