MASON → Not bad, but the trap possibilities are immense. Try some comcons and defer vowels for now
NORTH → Got one. Need to look at vowels now. Something with an I?
CHINO → That O must be in the middle, so… I see one with an E, so
PHONY

Yes, I did mistype that last letter from what I intended. Yes, it turns out I was really lucky I typoed there.

WordleBot said there were 23 available choices after my second try. So other than wanting a word that had an O in the middle and ended with a Y (because what else was there?), I didn’t have a lot of criteria. So yes, mostly luck.

I saw grail first, but didn’t love it so kept looking until I saw a frail, which I liked a lot. That’ll learn me.

I saw Frail first, then saw Grail right after. I wanted it to be Grail, but I figured Frail was more likely. The French taunters ought to show up any minute now.

The G was a typo! I saw GRAIL, of course, but thought FRAIL was more likely. Yay for a three!
