GUEST → Good start with two hits. Where should the U go? If the start, it may be UN??T, so I’d like to try a word with an N but U in 3rd or 4th, so
MOUNT → No N, but a hit on the O, so probably ??OUT, FLOUT, CLOUT or…

And I totally missed seeing TROUT, which would have been a six for me.

Whenever I hit two vowels in my opening word, I tend to neglect checking for a third. It cost me today; this probably should have been a three.

A quick 3 today – as it seems it was for many here!

There have been more than 2 vowels in only about 1/6 of the solutions so far. (Counting Y as a vowel, which it almost always is in this game.) For me, that’s enough reason to stop looking for vowels after I have 2 of them, but different players’ MMV on this.

Congrats!!
