VOICE
GAUNT
ALARM
FLASH
FLASK

I really thought I’d salvaged a par there.
I have several starters with less common consonants that average pretty well for me. When you do hit on one of those it can be tremendously helpful. VOICE is right in the middle of the pack, but it didn’t come through today.

GRIEF → I though I had struck out until that last letter turned over. OK, two more vowels and a side of two common consonants, order up…
FOUNT → Placed the F, and there’s gotta be an A somewhere. I’ll try right in the middle…
FLACK → Should have thought just a little bit longer…
FLASK

Given how lucky I’ve been the past few days, I’m happy with the par.

You’re going to be even more annoyed if it appears in a Wordle answer, and you’re expected to type the accent!

My lucky days continue.

WordleBot advises there were only 3 answers after my second try: GLASS, FLASH and FLASK. I found GLASS but as usual, resisted the double consonant. Didn’t think of FLASH before FLASK, so FLASK it was!

Thanks to the used words list I knew it couldn’t be CLASS or GLASS, which left only FLASK or PLASM (according to WordleBot, and I didn’t see it anyway)

Lucky guess three left only one option. Am I wrong or are there a lot of answers recently with just one A in the middle as the only vowel?

Also why is there a piece of cake after my name?

SLANT
CRASH
BRASH

My usual second word is CHORE, but I was thinking that with the A in the middle, the S was almost certainly in the fourth spot, there probably wasn’t a second vowel, and CRASH checked all the consonants of CHORE while verifying where the S was. Besides, a chance at a 2! No cigar there, but set up an easy 3.

When I hover my cursor over it, it says, “Today is the anniversary of the day I joined this community!”

So happy Dopiversary to you!
