Stuck in 4/4 time. Anybody care to dance??

After Guess I figured most likely there was another vowel. But if started with a three consonant string, most likely an S would be part of the string. So LOUSY gave me all of the untested vowels, as well as looking for the S and trying the L in new location.

With guess 2, I figured that there was a second E in the word. CREEL tested for two Es, put the L in a new location, and tested for C and R, two very common consonants.

After CREEL, EXCEL looked like the answer. Unlike other days, I didn't methodically make a list of possible solutions. I just went with EXCEL as soon as it came to mind.

Add it up, Add it up, Day after Day, my Wordle score adds up - to 4 today

Another four.

FOUND popped into my head for no apparent reason, obviously! Trying to get back on track, I tried TRIES and found (pun intended) an E in the fourth position. I almost ignored the E to try five new letters on my next attempt but I saw that CAMEL would fit and decided to try it. Success! EL at the end and a C that had to go in either position 2 or 3, xCxEL or xxCEL. Like T_R_, I saw EXCEL and didn’t give it any more thought.

Four. After three entries, only one letter, thirteen letters eliminated (including most of the common ones), and all but one vowel gone. Given that, four looks really good to me.

Five and it took me a long time.

I bombed out! But it didn't take me very long, lol. With a more positive attitude I might have made it. And I did not choose wisely on word #2 (using an eliminated letter) OK... I could go on and on as to why I failed, I'll stop now.

And yup, Four or five or six -- looks really good to me!

If you can dance in 3/3 time, you're a far better dancer than I, so I'll sit out that one.

It is a modified waltz!

Join the dance, with me at least, but maybe not Patri. If you try to dance with Patri, one of you might step on the other's toes.

Trying to eliminate unused letters wasted a guess. But I had the letters in four, solved it in five.

Three today.

After guess 2, I was thinking of positions for the O. And what if the O was in position 2? Then the only possible solution would be AORTA. So I figured, let's try it, particularly because I couldn't easily locate other words that worked, given the eliminated letters.

I guess I chose wisely this morning.

It took me a while to the to the heart of the matter.

Four.

Three for me, also.

I played the NYTimes mini crossword just prior to Wordle and POLAR was one of the answers there. I decided to use it as my starter and it was productive, getting the O in position 2 plus an A & R. I thought I should try five new letters for my second word but ROACH popped into my head and the urge was too strong to overcome. It didn’t add anything but it did narrow down the options for the A & R. When I put the A in first position, I immediately saw that AORTA worked and I went for it. Very quick game today.

Four. It took a while for me.

[jwalk03]

Tough one for me today. 6. I always struggle on the ones that start with a vowel.
