ACORN

BORAX
Wordle Bot tells me FORAY was also an option, but luckily, I didn’t see it. I probably would have tried it first.
I had a very lengthy internet outage yesterday. I guess there was a solar storm. It knocked out my satellite for the better part of 24 hours. Not fun.
I dashed to a friend’s to jump on hers long enough to check email from clients and 
to play Wordle so I wouldn’t lose my streak! I forgot to copy yesterday’s results, though.
Score from yesterday was a 3:
IRATE
SCALP
QUALM
I later learned the only other word after SCALP was KOALA. I didn’t figure that one out, thankfully.
Today was a 4.

I’ll take the 4 and am glad my streak remains intact!

BORAX
It was a trap!
I discarded BORAX a couple of guesses earlier because I thought that was a brand name. Apparently it isn’t.
I’d have thought so too, except:
Boron, California
is a town along a major highway. It is the site of
the world’s largest boron mine.
From wiki:
Borax has been in use as an insecticide in the United States with various restrictions since 1946.

QUALM → I have some, well, mental reservations about this start…
RAISE → OK, that’s a little better. Can I have an O?
TORAH → Looks traplike. KORAN is still in play; should I try it for equal time? Let me try a couple more…
FORAY → Not that. Plus, last vowel jic… having tried a Y, maybe there’s an X?
BORAX
I suppose LORAX is probably not playable

OVINE
CLOUT
FOAMY
BORAX
I thought I got very lucky, but not really. Even though Scordle said there were 46 words left, BORAX was the only one that wasn’t an S-plural or ridiculously obscure. GOPAK? WOKKA? JOWAR?

EARTH
BORAX
Resorting to BORAX (the only R-in-the-middle word I had written down in my list of words-to-try–with the caveats as mentioned in the discussion just upthread) turned out to be lucky. Got one of my extremely rare 2s.
I took note of some of the other R-in-the-middle words guessed today for future use. (Thanks!)

BORAX
Like others, I was thinking that was a brand name.
You’re sitting prettier than I am…my 3’s are so far behind my 4’s (120 vs.162), I don’t think I’ll ever catch up.

Uninspired today, I thought I’d try a new starting word, but it pales in comparison with others…
I am 0-9-53-47-28-11 wiht one loss. For quite a while, I had more sub 4s than over 3s, must have been lucky.

I kept trying to think of something other than CARAT or KARAT — to learn about another letter, instead of just trying a second A — and then finally gave up.
