A three! I can barely remember my last three. And I think I earned this one.
It’s raining 3s for many of you today! Good going! And congrats to you who are continuing with your long streaks!

I haven’t had a 3 in a while, and no 2s in a long while! Of course WordleBot has to spoil my pleasure by giving me a low score for my 3rd guess, who knows why.

Oddly, I was able to do yesterday’s Wordle after midnight, I guess because it was open and hadn’t been refreshed? I haven’t had that work before. I think I have a string of 3 3s now.

SHARP
SCARF
WordleBot advised there were 7 choices left after SHARP. I think I found them all, but some seemed unlikely words (SNARF, e.g.) and others had already been used. I really thought the answer today would be SWARM, but the 2 other viable words were SCARF and SCARY. Figured I’d try SCARF, and then I’d know one way or the other and at least get a 4. Happily, it turned out to be the answer!

I literally had SCARF typed in at two, and thought, “No, I should try an E.” D’oh!
I’ll take my second straight three though.

DWARF
SCARF
It should have been DWARF, dammit! That’s a great word. BTW, I don’t look at the used word site when I play. And lately I just think of some random first word, instead of ADIEU like I used to play.

PERCH => narrowed it to SCARY and SCARF, fortunately chose the latter!
SCARF
Had a fun time with this, longish details below.
Summary
After my first guess, I had \S_A__, and there’s only a limited number of consonants that can go in that second spot, especially with L,N, and T eliminated already, so with the help of the dead-trees dictionary, I found 30 words that could fit:
SCAMP, SCAPE, SCARE, SCARF, SCARY, SEAMY, SHACK, SHADE, SHADY, SHAKE SHAKY, SHAME, SHAPE, SHARD, SHARE, SHARK, SHARP, SHAVE, SMACK, SMASH, SOAPY, SPACE, SPACY, SPADE, SPARE, SPARK, SUAVE, SWAMP, SWARD, SWARM.
It turned out SCARE, SHAKE, SHAME, SHARD, SMASH, and SPADE had already been tried, and I didn’t think SCAPE, SPACY, or SWARD were likely solutions in general: ‘scape’ and ‘sward’ rarely stand alone, more commonly part of a word like ‘landscape’ or ‘greensward.’ And ‘spacy’ is slang from another era at this point. So that left me with 21 possibilities, and wanting the best word to knock them down.
So I counted up the incidences of each letter besides S and A in the remaining possibilities. E was the only common vowel, and P,R,H, and C were the most common consonants. My normal second word, CHORE, had four of these, but I was all but wasting a letter on O. Wondered if ‘cherp’ was a word - it wasn’t - but rearranged them into PERCH. Which left me a choice between SCARF and SCARY, and made the right choice this time.
Wordle 694 3/6* Mother's Day 2023
ACRID → Do I have a shot at a two? Let’s see, OC-, EC-, UC- prefixes go nowhere, I should try an S before the C, so SC-, SC?RA goes nowhere, SC?AR similar, so SCAR?, could be an E, let’s try it…
SCARE → Darn. So close.
SCARF
Put me down in the “didn’t see SCARY” crowd, so I was a lot luckier than I thought. Plus Scoredle pointed out SCARP as another possible, which is probably too uncommon for Wordle but is at least an entirely cromulent word.
Nah, we crushed that DWARF way back, so don’t hand me the pliers.
