Wordle 691: Ho-Hum Answer

I open with PRANK today. I get the R correct, but nothin else. I'm now starting to have some doubts about going consonant hunting early in the game. It just feels like maybe it is not giving the great results that it did when I switched to it. Or maybe it just feels that way. My doubts increase when my second guess TRIED does not give additional information. But my third guess GROWS get us back on track with a green for O. The R as the second letter does limit what I can guess I try the F and C, but nothing works. I use the B that is available to me and figure that the O must be repeated because nothing worked with U for me as I typing in possibilities. From there, I did briefly spend some time deciding if I should guess BROOM or BLOOM. I went with BROOM and it was today's answer. Maybe I was just having doubts when I saw a lot of gray boxes early in the game. And I think eliminating so many letters helped me see the double O quicker than I would have by looking for vowels. So maybe there is something to getting consonants out of the way early. Nothing particularly great or bad about today's puzzle.
