I didn’t this time obviously, but whenever I start with a single yellow A, my thought is, “OK, I’ve got a vowel, now gimme consonants” since usually in that situation there’ll be just one more vowel, and it’ll probably be a schwa anyway.
Waiting for the poster who’s going to get it in 1!
Yeah, he really BLEU it!
Yep, one of our regulars is going to have a happy day!

I missed a one by nine days. Not complaining about a two, of course.

CAUSE - I thought of “parse”, but decided it was unlikely.

FACET → I think I may be out of vowels. I can cover R & S, and played around with L & N as a third consonant, but no dice, but I saw an easy word with a P and went with
PARSE → RA?SE, looks like I need another vowel after all
RAISE
Scordle and I had the same guesses from my start word, so that kinda validates my 3.
And way to go, @chiliwillybing ! Persistence pays off
And right after a 2 yesterday - you really know how to finish up a week on a high note!
Congratulations!!!
I’ll add my congrats to @chiliwillybing! Nicely done!
I am happy with my 2 today.

Even WordleBot didn’t penalize me. It said there were 3 available words after my first one, the other two being AFIRE and AERIE. Neither of those sprang to mind, so I went with RAISE. < happy dance! >
Thanks all!
It’s fun, even though it’s just by chance. But it’s kind of a let down too, because then you don’t actually get to play. 
Don’t use that word tomorrow.
That’s my starting word too! I’d better change it if I ever hope to get another “1”.
Since you’ve been using that start word consistently, and it’s definitely a common word, it had to come up sometime, so it was just a question of when. Your persistence paid off!

What a FARCE! I think of an unusual word before the likelier and more efficient one, RAISE.
Way to go @chiliwillybing !

Missed opportunity for a 2…I almost went with Raise second, but I was seeing about five A words, so I thought it might be better to go with one of those. At least I solved it from there though.
Happy 1 guess day @chiliwillybing!
