Nooooo! I fell into the trap. There went my 48 day streak.
I can see I had a very good day compared to many others. Pretty lucky, actually!

PIPER
Learning that the word started with a ‘P’ and had an ‘I’ in it was a tremendous advantage. I found PIKER but that didn’t seem like a Wordle word to me. There was another word it could have been but I have no idea what it was. So yes, lucky me!
@Wheelz, I’m sorry about your streak ending. 
Scoredle gives PINER, someone who pines after something, I guess. That’s from the list of all 14,855 words that Wardle would accept as a guess, though. Seems a bit of a stretch to be an actual solution, but after SURER, RUDER, RIPER, and the infamous PARER, it wouldn’t surprise me.
Thanks. But don’t. You’re giving me P(ARER)TSD. 
That wasn’t me, it was @Rebo.
Sorry, Rebo.
Oh! I’m sorry, @Rebo!! Don’t mind me!

WordleBot was very deadpan about my 2nd guess and rated me 74 for skill. “Your guess eliminated all but five of the words in my dictionary.” Still, I’m relieved to get away with a 3 especially after seeing 6s and ended streaks. My sympathies!
Just yesterday, I found out there’s a TV game show version of Wordle (actually, it seems to me Wordle is based on the game show), now hosted by RuPaul

This was one of those “no that’s a name, wait it’s also a word” type of deals.

Saw the trap and thought I’d just take my chances vs. go with a sleuth. Glad I didn’t fail.

PIPER → Slow start. Should have tried STAIN here but wanted an L, for some reason
TAILS → As it turns out, no reason at all. Still, picking up the S & T and placing the I is a good step. I really liked that STI?? start and threw out a few possibilities before trying
STINK → So now I needed somewhere else to put the T, and had to go with
SHIFT → Which at least made the solution obvious
SMITH
A five, but a fast solve - it’s nice when each step leads almost inexorably to the next.
@Bullitt - shouldn’t your last two come after ALIAS?
