Finally an easy one, though I’m guessing there were many other possibilities. But when the first word I see has a B in it I can’t help but to trust the B.

Yet again, i saw the answer before my 4th guess, but thought it would
try to catch me with the old double letter ploy… bastard !

Apparently the solution was the only legit word left after 2, but it took me a while to (a) find it, and (b) make sure there weren’t any possibilities I was missing.

That wasn’t hard. Few of them ever are though - one a few days ago was a bit tough.

CHAOS → Not bad. Time for an E and two comcons, for the followup
SANER → Good placement on the A. I’ll swap positions on the S & N, throw in a T and… better make the last a Y
NASTY → Hmmm. ?ASN? goes nowhere, so it must be ?AS?N, E & O gone so try an I, then it’s time to trust the B
BASIN

Really felt like I was in the flow state today, while Wordling. Scoredle goes hard to place the S with SASSY but ends up taking a par; my second guess was luckier as Scoredle goes immediately to the solution after it. So if Scoredle and I were teamed today, we might have combined for a birdie.

I don’t know why I was so blind to this word. I went through every available iteration of xAxIN twice and saw nothing. I really didn’t like ADMIN as an answer, but convinced myself that had to be it. Then I went through every iteration of xAxIN twice again before BASIN jumped out at me. Should have been a birdie; I’m not happy with myself.
