Saturday's puzzle is one that I don't completely recall my solving process because I forgot to take a screen shot of the puzzle. Trust me, I got it in four. ACRID is really interesting word for the solution. I like it when there are off words as the solution.
For Sunday, I opened with STOCK and got a green for the S and a yellow for the C. It took me a bit of thinking about where to put the C for my second guess, but I ultimately decided it should be the second letter and chose SCARE for my second guess. I got greens for the first four letters and briefly thought I had my second solve in two in the past week. Alas, it was not meant to be as the last block was gray. I was extremely confident that I had this in three and quickly typed in SCARY for my next guess. You can imagine my shock when that was also incorrect. I took a little bit longer to analyze my options before typing in SCARF and getting the solve in four. This was frustrating personally, but sometimes you get puzzles where you have four out of five and don't see the word. At least, in my case, this was early enough in the guesses that I didn't have a 50/50 coin flip for the sixth guess. My streak is now up to 32.
