According to wordlebot I had a 1 in 6 chance on my third guess and I managed to nail it for once.

SLATE
MUSTY
BRIDE
DUSTY
I almost rolled the dice with DUSTY as my 3rd guess (which would’ve paid off), but there were just way too many decoy words, like BUSTY, RUSTY, GUSTY that I felt was too likely to screw me. So I went with BRIDE as a sleuthing word.

LOATH → One bit of carryover. Feel like I need to exercise the vowels, here, so I’ll load up with I and E and see what I can fill in around the edges
SMITE → Got S, but neither vowel. Should try both U and Y, with Y at the end S must be in middle and U before it
GUSTY → A trap! I think I’m safe, as long as BUSTY is not a possible solution. Try R
RUSTY → Next, D
DUSTY
I don’t know if it was a solution or not; if so, I had a 1-in-4 shot at a loss, there, so some luck involved. Scoredle also hits the trap, but having eliminated fewer possibles when it does, it would have lost 2/5th of the time - so it has a bit more luck to finish with a double-bogey.

STUNG
DUSTY
This had all the makings of a frustrating slog, until it suddenly fell together.
Scordle says it could also have been MUSTY, FUSTY, BUSTY, or TUSKY… but really it was just a coin flip between MUSTY and DUSTY.

I think it could also have been dreck, erect, and eruct. But those all felt like less likely words. Especially eruct. (Which wordlebot confirms isn’t on the list.) And I’d wreck is wrong, it will tell me whether the answer is dreck or erect or eruct. So nothing lost by trying for a two. And i got lucky.
Wordle 1,796 5/6* 5/20/2026
DUSTY → Carryover whiff. With three WoFcons left, though, the followup just about writes itself
LEARN → Well that’s something. Do we have another of those dreaded -ER endings?
POKER → No. Vowels seems to call for either I or a second E, I’ll try the latter
CREEK → Except that I already knew there wasn’t an E there. Pretty much a tap-in now
WRECK
Sure enough, I had a valid-tap-in-for-par if I hadn’t messed up that fourth guess. Scoredle’s followup is a rather odd word, but it tries three vowels, which pays off in a 50-50 shot at a par a couple guesses later (which it sinks).

There were a number of possibilities after 2, such as DRECK, RECUR, ICIER (MERCY had already been used), and while I thought WRECK was the most likely solution, I’d be positioning myself for a 5 if I was wrong. So my choice at 3 was to avoid that.
Yet one more blank on the starting word. I’m on a roll there.
