I’m a freakin’ mathematician - I should have seen this at 3!

You weren’t the only one. When I saw the word that was my third guess, I jumped on it out of sheer desperation!

Super difficult. Any answer that ends in S is generally brutal.

Sweet deuce!
It was either MINUS or VIRUS, and I won the coin flip. (Then I looked at Scordle. If it had been FICUS, I’d be pissed right now!)

Had a weekend away, so played on my phone.

Wordle 1,072 4/6*
TITAN - Whiffed, try a first guess second
LOSER - Could UEL or EEL, don’t see any words with the former
WHEEL - ?E?EL but not LEVEL (see previous guess)
BEVEL

Wordle 1,073 X/6*
BEVEL - No second E, so that’s good. Try something with A and some comcons
SANER - Uh, this looks like a trap. Three (or four) more vowels to go…
SOBER - Not that one. U this time?
SUPER - Aggh. Hope it’s an I
SIZER - It is… but not where I wanted it to be. H?
SHIER
Why didn’t I see the K? I knew the spelling is SHYER, but… aggh. What a way to go.

:green_square::green_square::green_square::green_square::green_square:

SKIER → OK, not bad. A and comcons… or, after not seeing a word with two of 'em, at least one comcon
BASIN → I trusted the B, and look what happened? All right, I see a followup word with a pair of Ts (actually two followup words, as it anagrams to STINT) so…
TINTS → We don’t usually see a terminal S, so a word that’s not plural and not a third person regular vowel. Ah, with a U…
MINUS

Scoredle guesses the answer with its second guess, and stays with it thereafter. Pretty impressive by Scoredle; for me, it’s a par, but that’s and improvement after yesterday…

Which brings my current streak to 620 after having missed PARER.

I find it a little pathetic that my life is regimented enough that nothing has diverted me from playing this dumb game every single day for nearly 2 years. Oh, well.

Lost the coin toss. You’d think there would be a lot more words with just the S and I in yellow, but I was only seeing two of them.
