Four for me.
After my second try I decided I needed to break up the AI combo. My third word was simply to try to either eliminate or gather up some consonants. Even with the C coming up it still took me a minute to get the answer.

Anyone else use random words that you don’t know are really valid words? They aren’t counted against me so I’ll test them. I am regularly surprised which “nonsense words” or words I assume are proper nouns and therefore not eligible, are actually real words. My second and third words today are examples.
Brock turns out to be a badger; spain claims to be a valid scrabble word but I see nothing to convince me it is ever used lower case.

I do try words which I don't even know if they exist to check out if any of the letters could be in the word. Sometimes, they go through as "real" words.

I couldn't come up with a word after 2 guesses. My son came up with the correct answer for 3rd guess.

Three today.

New starter word today. After guess 1, I decided to see if there were other vowels, which there weren't (skipping Y for the moment).

For guess 3, I decided to see of there might be a second E. And I had to test a new position for the S. So I though SEVER would be a good next guess for the purpose. Luck is an element - and luckily SEVER turned out correct.

I thought my streak of threes might be cut off today, but luck persisted

Respect to you both. It took me all 6 after I was certain my 3rd guess was correct.

In celebration of our nation’s birth, I opened with PEACE this morning. I almost changed my mind because of the 2 E’s, feeling I was cheating myself out of a letter, but I stuck with it and it paid off with the E in the 2nd spot and one out of position. I’m off to a good start! With METER, I’m trying to get the 2nd E in the right position which I did, and find some consonants which I also did with the ending R. DEFER pops into my head immediately and I think that has to be it! Nope. Oh, well it must be NEVER. Uh-uh! LEVER? The Wordle gods are laughing at me now. One last chance. SEVER seems rather gory for this early but I don’t see anything else. Whew! :oops:

Phew. 6. Had the last two letters on my second try, but that left tons of possibilities. As I eliminated letters with my guesses, there was still at least one other possibility (probably more) after my sixth try. As I said, phew. Further comment in the spoiler.

I might mention that for my second try, I could have put "rarer." Wouldn't that be an awful word for Wordle - one letter used three times.

I ran out of guesses :confused:.
I ran thru all the rhymes for the answer.

Two today
Luck plays a huge role. Today I went back to my old reliable opening word.

Three letters out of position, so the next guess needs to be something that puts each of those letters into a new position. I quickly saw FIELD and YIELD as options, and I decided to go with FIELD because Fs are more valuable than Ys in elimination mode.

wow - a two is always special.

I broke my three streak as the possibilities for the word were wide open even with 4 letters

Nice, TR! I was happy to get it in 3 today after a few days of taking it to the lower half of the grid.

i tried a new starter word today, TREAD, and got the E and D in their correct positions. I thought the 4th letter was most likely an N, with L and another E also possibilities. I decided to go with BLEND. It eliminated the N and revealed an out of position L. FIELD seemed like the logical solution but just as I was about to hit Return, I also thought of YIELD. I hesitated but fortunately stuck with FIELD for the win.

Four today. Missed by one letter on my third try. I guess I am being penalized for having negative thoughts (my third word).

a two is always special.
A two is almost always lucky. In today's word I had three out of position letters on guess 1. Since I'm in elimination mode, not solving mode, had even one of those been a green instead of a yellow, my second guess wouldn't have included that green letter, as I would be focusing on trying to get the positions of the other two letters and testing out new consonants. But because all three letters were yellow, I looked for a word that had all three letters, just in a different position.

Almost anyone doing the puzzle would prefer a guess that has one green and two yellow to one that has no green and three yellow. So in this case, I was "luckier" by having a less useful first guess.

I also didn't spend time trying to identify all of the possible words that put those three letters in a new position. I just went with the first thing that came to mind that did that purpose and still used common letters. Again, more luck. There are at least six other words that fit my criteria for a guess 2. I just hit on the one that was the answer. I guess that offsets some of the times when I plug in a word that I'm sure is the solution, only to have it be a miss.
