I didn’t think livid would be the answer so soon after Christmas, but I never saw LD as an ending until I was hit over the head with it.

I’m so mad. Yesterday I tried to sync my non-NYT play with a non-member account, and it took away my streak! So I played LEARN again and got it in one. But today I have a two on my two-day streak, so it could be worse, I guess.

5049

If you’re on your phone, i saw that blur was missing from the list. But then i made it scroll up, and blur was there. Does this help?

5050

I’ll try that…

Test blur

Yes thanks! If I scroll then I can see that. Didn’t have to do that before, but now I understand, that’s what people were explaining.

Thanks!

LEARN → And it seemed like such a good word to start with. Ah well, got a good second word up my sleeve - maybe the first time I’ve played this second
TOILS → Now that’s something good. Still a lot of possibilities out there, it feels like. I could play a U… but then I have to decide, do I trust the B? No, I’ll try G this time
GUILD → Shouldn’t have trusted either the G or the B - should have trusted the C!

Scoredle had eight possibles for my third guess: child chill chili guild build quill whilk icily. That may be the largest set of guesses with the fewest bogus words I’ve ever seen from Scoredle.

MAUVE
SPOIL
CHILD

My free use of Wordlebot has ended, but I suspect it would tell me that my starting word was poor and I was lucky to get a three.
It’s true I was lucky today, but MAUVE ranks surprisingly high on my list of starters by average score, so I’m keeping it.

5054

A nice 3 today.

The only vowels coming at the very end of the word is not my strength. This officially begins a 4 streak for me, which is not the way I was hoping to start this next 100 games.
