Wordle 890 2/6*
SLATE
SOLID
For my 2nd guess I looked for a word starting with S and containing an I and an O. Of course, WordleBot had to spoil my pleasure by rating my skill at 65 out of 99 and dismissing it as a very lucky guess. Sure, I was lucky, but it wasn’t just dumb luck!

Lucky second guess but unlucky third one.
I start with COURT, ASIDE, and NYMPH. 15 unique letters - all the vowels and common consenants. If I don’t already have at least four yellow or green letters - i start thinking of L, G, and H, or double letters. NYMPH or LYMPH - it’s a tossup.

SLATE
SILKY
SOLID
Sometimes I pick my start words the night before for the next day, and I had written down Crane + Solid. But by the time I played, I completely forgot about that and went with my usual Slate. I then remembered I had wanted to play Solid 2nd, but I go and toss up Silky instead - lol. Really, out of the words I was seeing, Silky would tell me more than Solid would, but it would have been great if I went with my first instinct. Happy with a 3 regardless.

I’ve used NYMPH in my set of starting words before. It gets the N in, and also the Y. My set noticeably does not get the Y in, and that’s a problem (I recently started using STERN ALOUD CHIMP, spoilered because I just used them in my previous post). I’ll see how that goes in the coming days and weeks.

Should have been a three, except for my fuckup on the third word.
CRANE
FAINT
TAUNT
TAWNY
My mind kept on wanting to fit TAUNT in. Even though I knew the fifth letter couldn’t be T, I had to keep reminding myself of that.
SOLID → Whiff. I really wanted to try R, T & N next along with A & E, but there was no word I could see. So I dialed back, subbed an H for the N, and tried
HEART → and I really wanted TAUNY to be a word here, which would check all remaining boxes, but no. So, since I knew it couldn’t be TAUNT, I tried the homophone
TAWNY
TATTY was the word Scoredle would have tried, which, considering six words remained ending in ATTY, would have been a wiser choice on the whole. (That will be a rough trap when it happens, BTW).

Another 3, but I didn’t earn it. I actually said aloud, “You’re kidding,” when my third try was the word.

WordleBot acted like I was some sort of shrewd genius, but in fact, I was just letter testing and wanted to get the N and the Y out of the way. Not complaining, though!

PLANT
TAWNY
Saw nothing at midnight so I slept on it. In the morning I saw atone, but that’s already been an answer. Mid-morning I saw nothing. At lunch I saw tawny, but didn’t think that would be an answer. Now, hours later, I got annoyed that it still wasn’t solved so I just put in tawny to see.
The amount of times I mentally ran through taunt/taint/saint in the past 16 hours was maddening.
Like I was saying to Chefguy earlier, I kept on having to remind myself that the last letter could NOT be ‘T’.
My approach was to look at the different places those two yellows could be. There were 7 possible ways to arrange them, which isn’t very many to check. And other than the arrangements that yielded tawny and (past solution) atone, none of them seemed to be producing a word of any sort. So I went with it.
