The solution could have been a badly wasted guess. I think MEDIC was still out there.

STARE
PUNCH
DOILY — it’s almost certainly eerie
EERIE — and there it is; damn, if I didn’t swap my usual 2nd and 3rd guesses I would’ve gotten this in 3 instead of 4; I overthunked this

Don’t think so MEDIC doesn’t have an R as third letter!!!

For me I could only see EERIE and VERVE, both seemed like wasted guesses.

Could’ve been unused EYRIE or PUREE, or any of nearly 20 already-used possibilities.

Huh. I just use the share button and post from my phone. But i guess i mostly post from my phone.

I don’t think I’ve ever posted to the Dope from my phone. Too much typing on that tiny keyboard for me. If I think a text is going to go more than a couple dozen words, I’m likely to send it in an email from my computer and just text the recipient that I’ve emailed them. I’ll almost never send something from my phone that’s anywhere near as long as this paragraph, for instance.

I do most everything on my phone. I rarely use my laptop these days. Like @puzzlegal I too use the Share button from the Wordle game on a browser.

With the swipe-to-type feature, typing lengthy messages / posts isn’t too bad. But there are frequent typos so I need to proofread carefully. Sometimes I’ll draft my message in a Notes app, then C&P from that.

I’ve had an extremely busy few weeks and haven’t been posting here (I know you’ve missed me!). I missed playing 3 or 4 times in that stretch, so I’m back down to a single-digit streak.

So glad I chose a day with a frustrating bogey to come back…
