I might be finding my groove again. (How’s that for a dated reference, eh?)
Wordle 845 3/6*
IRATE
SPENT
KNELT
My second try eliminated all other words but the answer, according to WordleBot. I saw it instantly, too. Though it took a bit of futzing around to trust it.
Second day in a row with both L and N hitting yellow. No terminal T this time, though, meaning I had to come up with a brand new second research word. Happy with loner.
After 2 I of course immediately saw knell, but figured there was zero chance now with an editor overseeing answers that they would put knelt and knell back to back. Kept looking, and in a throwback I almost got stuck on incel again, but then quickly saw uncle from there.
After my opening word, the solution was the first possibility that occured to me. But then I thought of MELON, LONER, LUNCH, and I also realized that there were a lot of possibilities out there that I wasn’t seeing. (Roughly 2 dozen legit possibilities in Scoredle’s list of 98, as it turned out.)
So I decided to go with my regular second word, which narrowed it down to the solution. I continue to be happy with my first two words.
KNELT → Oh my, that is a very good start. ENOLA? Proper noun. Don’t think there’s anything else that leads with E, so ?N?LE it is. Nothing with a leading S works. K is already gone, so it starts with a vowel, and can’t be ANKLE, but that leads me to UNCLE
ANGLE was left, but I think we had that recently? Either way, probably caps my best ever three-day streak.
