Really bad allergies. Yesterday and last night was absolutely miserable.
A bit tricky today. Several 5s, including mine. And Bob and Mahaloth got 2s. Nicely done! Sorry for your X, Mac. And your dead watch. That sucks.

BOUND — It might be safer sarge saver sayer shear swear; so letters to eliminate are F G Y H W; and we know that S is the first letter; so can try SHOWY, or FOGGY

OPIUM, despite today’s whiff, is historically one of my stronger starting words. Whenever one of those mid-tier consonants hits, it’s always very helpful. Not this time.
Oh well, at least it eliminated three vowels and allowed me to plod to a par, for which it seems I should be happy today.
Wordle 1385,
End of my 110 game streak, hard mode hurts at times.
Wordle 1,385 X/6*
LEANT: My standard Starting word
SWIRL: wanted to try out R,S and another vowel at this stage it was looking good
GRILL: 4 possible answers with only 3 guesses left. I thought Frill and Drill were more common words and therefore most likely. Living in the UK I then guessed Brill, thinking it more common than Krill alas was incorrect.
My sympathy tho my streak was a third of yours and it was my own fault. Tomorrow is another day

KRILL
After three I saw DRILL, FRILL and KRILL but I made myself go through the alphabet and saw TRILL so I went with a sleuth word. I now see that I had already eliminated the T so I could have solved it in hard mode if I had paid attention. Very sloppy. Still a tough trap.

MFing trap. And while I had the solution down from the get-go (well, after 2 anyway) as one of the possibilities, I thought it was the most obscure of them and least likely to be on the list. I apparently had plenty of company in thinking that.

Wordle 1,386 3/6
SHEAR → Not much of a start, but some good eliminations. I tried to get a word with O, U and two more WoFcons but was unsuccessful. So I figured I’d try
ROUND → And that went nowhere. Sheesh. Tried to think of words with I and Y here, and was, again, unsuccessful. Also couldn’t shoehorn an N in there as the last WoFcon, but did see
FLIRT → So ?RIL? or ?RI?L, perhaps a pair of Ls? In which case, I could try the less-common KRILL or perhaps
GRILL → And looking at how bad this could have been, I’m really happy for how my second and third guesses were made
KRILL
Scoredle falls into the trap with its third guess, and goes the distance with one valid word still in play. Seemed a very unlucky day for me for a while, then suddenly turned a lot better.
