Since BUNCH, FINCH, and HUNCH had been used, it was down to MUNCH, PUNCH, PINCH, and WINCH after 2.

Always fun to turn a whiff into a birdie. I got lucky placing the I and N, then was afraid I might be walking into a trap but got lucky again with the P.

I’ll take the three after that start!

SCOUT - well, at least I know which vowel to use
PINCH - came to me before the other similar words, so went with it
Wordle 1,061 6/6* 5/15/2024
AMASS → I’m not sure I’ve played a first word that provided less information. After yesterday, I was kinda expecting it. OK, O & E and three comcons (at least S is gone)
TONER → That was… also less than useful. Just U and I left (sounds like a line from a postapocalypic novel…)
LINUX → Is there a Y? I feel compelled to check…
WINDY → Nope. And here I feel tired and turn in, thinking I may do better with some sleep. I wake up and feel compelled to check repeat letters for some reason, so I try
JINNI → And now I see it, and it’s a trap, could be CINCH, FINCH, or PINCH. I seem to recall that FINCH was played already. It’s close, but I’ll try
PINCH
Whew is right. Scoredle says there were 3582 possibles after AMASS, but TONER got it down to 79, and the rest was just a slog. Lucky to keep the streak alive.

In the service of honesty, I will admit that my third word was supposed to be STALK but my fat finger hit the wrong key and I hit enter before I noticed. So I guess I really deserve a four.
Wordle 1,062 3/6* 5/16/2024
PINCH → Kinda expected, still a little disappointed. Good second guess on the way, though…
LEAST → And… that looks like a makeable birdie. ST to the front, so STA?L or STAL? but not STALE, time to double up
STALL
I totally didn’t see STALK so I thought I was in the clear - turns out I got lucky. Scoredle and I both did better from my start than Scoredle did from its usual start word SLATE.

STALE had already been used, so it was either STALK or STALL. Won the toss today.
