Ok, I went 2 for 2 this weekend, but neither win was all that impressive.
Saturday was a solve in four. I went FLING then FLAKE for my first two guesses. On my third, I had FLA in the right spot and I knew the word ended in K. So my options were either FLACK or FLASK to try to get it in three. I went with FLACK, which was incorrect, but got my to FLASK in four. So, yay.
Sunday's puzzle was harder for me. I went with GRAIL for my opener because I just finished watching Mrs. Davis on Peacock, which involves a quest for the Holy Grail. It's a bonkers show that I recommend, but you need to accept a certain level of stupidity to enjoy it. GRAIL got me R and A in the correct spots. From there, I struggled. I continued to break my look for the consonants strategy first by guessing TRADE, which gave me no new results. I feel that was a good guess because based on the position of the A, there could've been an E at the end. My next guess was PRANK, and, again, I got no new letters. This stumped me. I guessed CRAZY next because that's how I felt. No new letters. I was totally lost. I finally typed in BRASH and got a solve in five. Hoping to do better on Monday's puzzle when I solve it in a few hours after doing some work work.
