Although I was firmly seated, comfortably, in my recliner, I opened with STAND. The Wordle gods

at my hypocrisy. I tried RHYME next and only came away with an out of position R. This is not going well. I’m torn between taking a stab using the R and trying five new letters. I decide to see if the R is the last letter and go with a somewhat high-risk word VIGOR (V and G aren’t that common). I added an O but both letters are still out of position. I want to move the O and R to positions 2 and 3. I settle on PROWL which I think would be a great solution. Unfortunately, it isn’t but I do have the R and O home now. Position 4 has to be O or U. I can’t think of any U words so I go with CROOK and discover it is neither an O or U. I need more

! Okay, letter 4 has to be a C which is a crock. ! No, a FROCK! I’m going to get that

right now!
