Two days for me of no greens before the solution.

Just before I saw the solution, I thought of the Todal from James Thurber’s The Thirteen Clocks. :slight_smile:

It’s nice to get a three, but I really should have thought a bit longer and converted the two. Scoredle did, for the record. I only get so many shots at a two; it’s a shame I couldn’t get it this time.

After 2, I was looking for a consonant-vowel alternation, which led me astray of course. So when I saw TOWER (and noted that VOTER had already been used, and disregarded TOKER, TOTER, TOYER, RETOX, ROGET, and PEROT), I jumped on it, and was totally sure that was the solution. WRONG!!

So back to the drawing board. Starts with O, ends in ER, and the T can be in the second or third spot. Or both - I saw OTTER before I saw the solution, so I’m glad I kept on looking - but I know I was lucky not to get a 5.
