GOOFY → Superficially, a good start. But there are so many things to check with only five more guesses and three free spaces? Ugh. POPPY, LOLLY, MOMMY - all killers. As it turned out, I got very lucky when I guessed
MOSSY → despite having only one unique WoFcon, which led immediately to either LOSSY or, if I trusted the B,
BOSSY
As evidence for how lucky I was, Scoredle goes the distance with a double-bogey - and still had eight other possibles on its last guess. That one had streakbraker written all over it for me.

SPOIL - Okay, so probably ends in ‘y’. We just had a double ‘o’ answer, so probably ‘-ossy’. Mossy? or. . .

BOSSY
I only saw bossy and mossy and mossy has been an answer. Probably still would have guessed bossy if I saw mousy.
I’ve been finding these hard lately. Not a lot to go on but yet only a handful of possible answers fit. Fewer still with the previous answers list.

I probably should have had a 3 here. My rule is trust the B unless there’s a G in which case go G first. And F before either of them. But with this I didn’t get that far. I saw brown and crown immediately and just trusted the B since crown has already been an answer. It was then that I knew I fucked up, greatly underestimating this trap. At that point I said screw it, I’ll just go alphabetical order. Should have gone F at 3 but definitely by 4. Ah well.

After 2, saw (B/D/F/G)ROWN right off the bat, and there didn’t seem to be anything else out there. Surprisingly, none of the four had been used. (I overlooked GROIN, but also surprisingly, it had been used - pre-NYT, of course.) So I went with a sleuth word on 3 rather than take a chance at having a second 6 in less than a week, and it did the job.
My 100th game, with my last 112 in a row correct. The streak would have been 576 longer, but i forgot to do it one day.

I decided to stay in hard mode, but I did break down and check the used word list. Surprisingly, CROWN is the only _ROWN already used. A sleuth word at three probably would have saved me one step, but, eh, whatever.
Wordle 1,224 3/6* 10/25/2024
BOSSY → Little enough to go on. I started playing around with 3-WoFcon-plus-E words; most were nonsense but Wordle accepted one
TRONE → Seems like nonsense enough to me, but hey. OK, ?RO?N is trappish, I can see FROWN, GROIN, CROON… I’ll shoot from the hip and try the first word I saw
FROWN
A rather lucky pick. In the same place, Scoredle recommends GROWN, which would also help with GROIN and GROWN, so I can see why that word. There were seven kosher words left after two; if it was one of the other ?ROWN words, I (and Scoredle) might have ended up going the distance.

LEAST <— Nuthin’.
GROWN <— Wow! What a lucky guess! And I’ve stepped into a trap. CROWN has been used, so it’s BROWN, FROWN, or DROWN.
BROWN <— This was the least sad, and it’s wrong. I’m guessing Wordle won’t use DROWN. So…
FROWN is the answer.
Wordle 1,224 3/6
CRANE - So the ‘n’ pretty much has to be at the end, which means ‘-own’.
BROWN - Drown is a verb, so more likely to be. . .
