WordleBot is an asshole. It declared my second try, STAMP, not β€œmy favorite,” even though it eliminated all but 2 words! Dumb bot. (Although perhaps not so dumb as someone who keeps paying attention to what a dumb bot thinks.)

SLANT
CRIME
BURST
WORST

Guessed wrong in two places: whether or not to stay with my standard second word (the H in CHORE seemed like it would be wasted, but CHORE->CRIME meant swapping O for I as well), and going with BURST over WORST on 3. Well, some days you just guess wrong, and this was one of mine.

Back on the 3 train.

ARISE
ROUST
WORST

I actually saw WORST first. But having hit no vowels, I felt compelled to use both remaining ones. Of course, process of elimination would have told me if there was a U. I could go back and forth like this all day, but I chose what I chose and I’ll always take a birdie.

ADAPT β†’ Once again, thought I was bound for a first guess strikeout. So now I’m thinking HEIST or ROUST - I prefer the vowels from the first over the consonants from the second, but I look a little harder and decide to try
INERT β†’ So maybe I should have tried ROUST first, so
ROUST β†’ Definitely should have tried ROUST first
*WORST

It’s a glass half-full / glass half-empty day for me, certainly not my best.

Still on the 3 train!

Today, WordleBot praised my second choice of word, even though it narrowed the remaining choices down to 2 words (WORST and ROUST), same as yesterday. No rhyme or reason.
