Mildly surprised that your third guess is even a word. I thought those things came only in pairs.

550

What in tarnation is a MATIN???

551

Yay!

I decided to borrow the first word from some guy on Twitter who is apparently good at Absurdle. Worked for me…

AIERY
STAIN
PANIC

It’s French for “morning” and relates to Matins, which is the early morning monastic prayer hour.

552

Amen, brother.

553

I’m glad to have fought your ignorance.

So my guess of PANTY was so popular here I thought I’d start with that, and look, all green matches!

I seemed to be living in 4-5 guess territory for a while, but finally got lucky again.

Your second guess was my first. I really lucked out.

557

I somewhat interestingly managed to have no greens until the right answer, although the fourth word had some mistakes and unused letters. Please excuse the first word…Uh, it let me do it.
