Just squeaked out a 6. I shouldn't do this while watching TV.

4 for me.

Spoiler

Was lucky to get the F and N in my 3rd guess.
I don't think U's and I's are commonly in words.

I had it in 3 but changed to a different word so 4 today.

four today

Spoiler

After guess I figured the word likely ended in Y. Now I needed to find consonants. SALTY has three common consonants, and also verified the Y was in position 5.

After guess 2 I figured the word was either xARTY or xATTY. There were more possibilities with xATTY (CATTY, RATTY, FATTY, HATTY, PATTY, NATTY) that I decided to go down that path instead of the xARTY path. I selected PATCH to confirm that there was a T in position 3, as well as to test for PATTY, CATTY, and HATTY.

I decided to use all 6 this morning. Why leave leftovers?

Spoiler

I thought about going for a Y but talked myself out of it. Big mistake! So, I started with AUDIO to search for vowels and only got an out of position A. Thought about going for the Y again but, instead, just checked for E and some consonants with CRANE. Okay, there’s got to be a Y, so I finallly looked for it with HASTY. So, I have xAxTY and decide the 4th letter is probably a T. For xATTY, with my remaining letters, the possibilities are BATTY, FATTY and PATTY. I try them in that order, fill up my board and kill my first cup of coffee for the day.

Took me all six, a long time, and a throw away word to try to ferret out some more letters.

Today was tough, I stuck around and saw it through with 5

Wordle 417 5/6

 

[Rolltydr]

Five for me also.

Spoiler

I started with STYLE to hit the consonants ST and I wanted to try the Y. All I got was an L. I tried FLUID next to try a couple vowels and moved the L to the correct position and found an I. I thought the I almost had to go in position 3 so I tried ALIGN and I was correct. It also uncovered G and N out of position. The most likely scenario was xLING. I think there were 2 options with my remaining letters, BLING and CLING. Of course, I tried the wrong one first.

Five as well.

All the way to six today. Whew!

4 for me. I actually considered the answer for my 2nd guess, but went down another path instead.

Spoiler

Since I got the C in 1st word, I thought maybe the answer ended in 'ck'. My other options were 'crime' and 'cling'.
On 3rd guess, I got too clever for myself, and thought Wordle would pull the old double vowel on us, so went with 'icing' instead of 'cling'

Four today.

four again

Spoiler

After Guess 1, I knew the missing vowel (was either E or Y, and there are vegetable options on the stove.

After Guess 2, I figured that I was the only vowel, and there was a good possibility the word ended with ING. Guess 3 confirmed the ING and added an L in position 2 to boot.

Four again.

Guess 2 put the E and L in new locations, and tested for remaining vowels.

After guess 2, my first inclination was to make STEAL my second guess, because that put all the known letters in new positions, and added S and T, two of the most common consonants. Then I reconsidered. - STEAL was the only word I could think of that fit an xxEAL pattern. I liked keeping EA together, so I considered putting the L ahead of EA, giving me a xLEAx pattern, for which there were three possibilities - CLEAN, GLEAN, PLEAD. So I figured that xLEAx was more likely to be correct than xxEAL.

Since two of three words in xLEAx path ended in N, I opted to use one of those words. If the xLEAx pattern was correct and I guessed wrong I would know which of the two remaining words was correct. And if the xLEAx pattern was shown wrong, then I could go back to STEAL, if that was still viable.

I chose CLEAN, and while it was incorrect, it eliminated PLEAD, leaving GLEAN as the only choice.
