YEAST (Dammit! Again I forget to use my new start word!!)
WATER (Shoulda known better than to try a word with another T.)
EAGER (I somehow don’t feel as though I earned this birdie. So many inattentive mistakes.)
Wow! I don’t think I’ve seen so many fails and ‘phews’ in one day!

A lot of streaks dying today.
Once I knew it had to be another damn -ER word, there were just too many possibilities left. And the one I didn’t think of was the repeating E.
Possibly my worst wordle performance ever. I wouldn’t have gotten this if I had seven guesses.
I was wondering how badly today’s carnage compared with that for the infamous PARER (Wordle 454).
For PARER, Dopers in this thread reported:
1,2,3: 0
4: 2
5: 2
6: 4
X: 12
One of those X’s was mine.
Today, so far:
So far today, if I’ve counted right, we’re:
1,2: 0
3: 5
4: 2
5: 1
6: 2
X: 5
So not as bad, but still a lot of losses. Wonder what the NYT has said, if anything, about today’s scores.

Yes, PARER was a carnage. One of those Xs was mine too. If my notes are correct, I have X/6 for 12x since I started playing on 2021-12-24. The other day (EAGER) my streak ended at 150. To date my longest streak was 267, and that ended a year ago when the Wordle was BEVEL.

Even with three letters on my second guess, I had a hard time coming up with anything.
EAGER → Whiff. Three WoFcons, I and O coming up
LOINS → That’s… not great. One WoFcon left, and either U or Y. Here’s a word…
TICKY → Not bad. Do I have a second I? Here’s a very odd word…
DIXIT → It actually took it! Well, only two places left for the T to go, and one has an H after it, so after staring at ?I?TH for a while I finally saw

Turns out it was basically the only word left, per Scoredle, but it sure took a lot of time to finally see it. Scoredle also finishes in five.

Somewhat appropriate that many of us solved on our FIFTH guess today.
Still, not a terribly satisfying comeback after yesterday’s carnage. Though a five is better than a fail any day.
My streak stands at one!!
