It’s not often one can tell exactly what a player’s words are just by looking at the grid.

After my starting word, I went, “wait, didn’t I see this same pattern yesterday?!” Then, “any reason not to choose the same second word today?” No, there wasn’t. And then, no, there really wasn’t.

Not complaining about the 2, but SKATE and STAKE back-to-back?! Really?!

Ugh. I don’t think I played badly today, just unlucky.
After three I had CROWN, BROWN, FROWN, DROWN, and CROWN, and you don’t get eight guesses. Still had two words left after my sleuth word. The only thing that went right was that it wasn’t DROWN in the end.
