Yeah, after my second word there was only one possibility.

ACUTE had been used (Wordle 190) but the only other choice was (unused) DICTA which I thought was a bit off the beaten track. ACUTE also was in the <200 range that all but two of the recycled solutions have been in, and it had been two weeks since the last reuse of a previous solution. So I went with ACUTE.

UNITY → Not a bad start - I’m genuinely happy with the U, in particular. One word presents itself immediately
ROUTE → Trappish, perhaps? In any case, I should have thought of one with an A, so
SAUTE → Could only be one word… wait, let me check… yes, only one word I see…
ACUTE

7/103, 1/12. 1/1, so pretty well-liked by Scoredle, and its recommendation for the followup was what I (later) thought of. So half-full/half-empty - a solid par, but could have been an easy birdie, which Scoredle itself makes.

I lamented drawing a Q word from the word generator, but it turned out to be a great start. And then I chose an excellent sleuth word, if I do say so myself. :blush:
