Hardest two ever, sat there for 10 minutes trying to make it work.

YEAST (Three letters. Shouldn’t be too hard.)
VISTA (Or should it?)
ASTIR (That was dumb. It already TOLD me there was no I.)
ATLAS (It was this or ATOMS.)
And Wordlebot? A word, please. Congratulating someone who guesses the only solution left kinda makes you look like a dick.

Saw the solution right away, but spent a bit of time making sure there wasn’t anything else out there. Other than plurals and proper nouns (e.g. Tesla), there was one legit but obscure word, talus, which I know from my caving days, but I very much doubted that was on the solution list.

Well, the Bot liked my process. Took me forever to see the answer, though.

A fun birdie.
I spent a bit of time with ATS__, but of course that led to nothing. When I moved the S to the end, I was able to map out the answer pretty quickly.

SPRIG → I’d like to try that S with A & E and two WoFcons… after trying several possibilities, I found one that Wordle would take.
ANTES → Before doubling up, I’d like to try an O. Though regular plurals aren’t what Wordle does… well, it was all I could see for now
ATOMS → Now that I’ve located the T… maybe it’s a double A? and I get to indulge my WoFcon obsession with an L, so
ATLAS
Eh, probably should have had a three on this, if I had thought about it some more. Scoredle has a great second guess but then hits a trap between the answer and some bogus words, ending up with a five. Maybe Scoredle doesn’t home in on non-bogus words in the endgame…

This one might have benefited from taking some time and going through the options. Then again, it seems that my guesses were not so off-base.

Could’ve been GRAFT or more dubiously ABAFT or KRAUT. All the other possibilities have been done.

Screw hard mode, easy mode is more fun when there are only a handful of answers after 1. In this case I was looking at draft/graft, roast/toast and yeast. And then ridge started seducing me with its easy-mode guaranteed-3ness.
I see what you did there.
