ETHIC → Clean miss, but now I have to think some more, because ROAST and HEIST are my usual go-tos after an initial O-fer, but they’re both already ruled out. OK…
SALON → One hit. Don’t think we have any Us to worry about, so perhaps a double-O?
DROOP → Yep. I think we’re down to three words, and they’re all covered by…
BROOM

Scoredle said I was down to six words. The next time I hear someone over the age of six use “VROOM” unironically, I may agree with it.

At least WordleBot didn’t have anything snarky to say to me today, rating my skill at 95 and my luck at 35, and also needing 5 guesses.

CHORE
SLANT
SNACK

I reversed my usual two opening words yesterday and today, and today that might’ve cost me. If I’d started off with SLANT, I’d still have had to choose among the solution and SNAKE, SNARE, SNARK*, and SPAWN, so a 1/5 chance at the 2. Obviously far from a sure thing, but wouldn’t have minded having the chance.

*I was good with this word possibly being a solution, but I drew the line at SNARF.

CRANE
SNACK - with the known letters, the ‘c’ could not be in the #2 spot, and probably not in the #5 spot. That made solving it pretty simple.
