I was entering STRAP and changed it to STRIP because, why not? The vowel didn’t matter as it was neither. I moved the R and search for a couple different vowels with CLEAR. Good choice! Got the starting C, plus E and A out of position with the R. I tried the E, A and R in the second position and when I saw that CADRE worked, I just knew with 100% certainty that I had a 3. Wordle can be ao humbling. Or, the gods can be so cruel! Anyway, back to the drawing board, I see that CRAVE, CRAZE and CRANE all work. CRANE? Nope. CRAVE? Finally! I was crazed and craving a victory.
