If it had been JUNTA, I’d have gotten it in 3 also. I was really kinda hoping for that one.

With three yellows right out of the gate I tried to go for a 2. That’s not a bad strategy, but replaying a yellow letter in the same position sure is. I still could’ve salvaged a 3, but this 4 feels like my just deserts for that boneheaded mistake.

RESIN → Good start - and may I say that’s a pretty good starting word! I think I’ll try the Scoredle trick of doubling up a yellow letter early to try and place it.
TWEEN → And I got the T in the bargain! Must be another vowel in there… A or O?
TAKEN

Guessed right at the end. Ironically enough, Scoredle would not have tried the “double up the E” trick if it had played RESIN first.

Some days I analyze every possible letter combination. Today I just put in words that fit, without much contemplation at all, and it worked out fine.
There were about five or six legit words available, so I’ll admit to a bit of luck. Had TAKEN been wrong, I might have been looking at a five, while RAVEN would have guaranteed a four. So I’m glad I saw TAKEN first.

When I saw the A_E pattern, I thought oh, no, too many possibles, so was pleasantly surprised to get it on my 3rd guess

I saw Taken and almost went with it at 3, but I was thinking of it as a past tense word, so I saved it for last (along with Eaten). Really, it’s a past participle and I forgot that Wordle does use those…I looked afterwards and we’ve had Given, Woken, Woven. Oh well, a 5 it is for today then.

Etiquette question: If I use the same starting word every day, should I put my in a Details tag?

[EllisDee]

I don’t.
