Wordle 918 3/6
PLANT
SCARE
GRACE
Saw brace first, but just like three days ago, when given a choice between B and G as trap letters my rule is to go G first. Unlike three days ago (when I was thinking guilt/built), it worked this time.

BRACE
GRACE
One of my least favorite puzzles. I saw the trap and found it very tedious going through the options. I soon realized that there were a lot more options for the first letter than for the fourth and the C was probably the most common since it could be used in multiple words for both. So I grabbed a random word with a C. I seriously hate any one that makes me feel I have to get out a paper and pen and write down the options.

Choosing between BRACE and GRACE, my rationale was simple: it’s Christmas Eve, dammit, I’m going with GRACE. 
I personally enjoy the Wordles that have me getting out pen and paper and figuring things out there. (Today’s wasn’t one of those for me; I’m responding to something psychobunny said.) Yesterday, for instance, I had 9 possibilities after my starting word, and writing them down helped me come up with a sleuth word that would enable me to tell me which of the nine was the solution. That was fun!
FWIW, responding to a different comment, I would hardly call it a ‘trap’ when you’ve narrowed it down to two possible solutions that you have to choose between. The shape ain’t the essence.

CRANE - Wordlebot thinks “prick” would be more efficient. I don’t see how. I think it’s just the bot being a prick. Used both my usual starting words
GRACE - Saw ‘brace’, but then a Christmas nod seemed more logical
SLOPE → Bit of a slow start, lots of words with that terminal E. Three comcons left, I’d like to try an A with them but I presents itself with
NITRE → Still slow. Let’s try both remaining non-Y vowels, which presents itself with
ARGUE → Missed the birdie. I’m seeing GRACE, GRADE, GRAVE, nothing with ?RAGE, so I think I’m safe, and since it’s Christmas Eve I’ll go wtih
GRACE
GRAZE was also possible, so I had a 1/4 chance of missing completely.

IRATE
GRACE
Like others, I saw the trap and just started letter-testing to see how bad it was. I’d found DRAPE and CRAZE, but the instant I hit GRACE, I knew that would be the word for today. Because as @chiliwillybing points out, .
Happy holidays, all!

A nice little holiday gift that was. 
Happy Holidays everyone!

BUCKS
GRACE
Same starting word as @Aspenglow. Hard mode may actually have been an advantage here (GRACE was the first word I saw), but the number of options for this trap had me reluctant to try for the deuce.
There was no perfect sleuth word, but BUCKS narrowed it down enough to make a good guess for birdie. I’m happy.

BOOZE
EVOKE
Nearly didn’t get this one. It was another one where I should have taken the time to write out the options but instead tried eliminating common letters and combinations and threw in BOOZE because that is a word I commonly miss on these games. While I haven’t looked to see what other options I missed, I’m pretty sure I got lucky again.

PLANT
SCORE
EVOKE
Before starting I was positive the answer was going to be merry, but decided to play it straight. When plant returned nothing I almost went straight to merry, but figured score wouldn’t hurt and it’s the proper play by my strategy. Imagine my surprise at seeing the results.
As far as I can tell, there were remarkably few options after two. I saw biome and diode pretty quickly, but didn’t think either would be answers. Eventually I saw evoke, and I see on preview that booze would have fit as well. I see nothing else, which probably means there’s like five other options.
Of the answers I mentioned, booze has already been an answer and surprisingly enough biome has as well. I guess that puts diode into play for the future.

EVOKE
There really wasn’t much left after 2, which Scoredle confirmed afterwards. I’m just glad they didn’t try to make IXOYE the solution, since it’s not, you know, an actual word.
ETA: MERRY was the solution to Wordle #835.
