SLATE
BROWN
WIELD
Round might seem to be a much better sleuth than Brown:
U,D are more common than B,W. But I had the same start on #1602
and picked Brown after considerable cogitation then.
Who am I going to trust if not myself? After #2 I thought of five
possibilities but Jewel, Wheel, Whelp and Dwell were on the Already-used list.

So they are! Whenever I post in this thread, it’s a copy and paste from the Notes app on my phone. I’d pasted into Notes the green and yellow and black squares that I got, but with yesterday’s words (instead of typing in the spoiler tags) that I was then going to replace with today’s words. But it was late at night (3:30am) and I was tired. And I forgot. Must’ve been dozing off.

Brain fart.

Here’s my 5, @pjd . Today’s words!

FIELD had been used. If WIELD had too, I was going to go with GELID which seemed kind of unlikely.
