Still a little bit salty about yesterday's answer being PLANK. I could've had a solve in one if I stuck with the K, dammit! Oh well, let's turn the page. Actually, SALTY is a good opener; lets give that a try. Okay, the S is green, and everything else is gray. But I've got something to work with. Part of me wants to go with SPORK, but I think that's just being a bit too stupid. Instead, I go somewhat safer with SPORE and get green tiles for the O and R.
So I've now got S-OR-. First instinct is SPORT, but we know that can't be the answer. SHORE is out, but maybe SHORN? Or SCORN. A second vowel doesn't make much sense with the letters I have already. SCORN feels like a good guess. I type it and get greens for everything but the C. Damn, looks like I should've gone with SHORN. I type it in and get the solve in four. Welp, I had the puzzle down to an either/or guess on the third go and just picked the wrong one. It's kind of a bummer when you miss a three like that, but getting it in four is better than a solve in five or six, so I'll take it. My streak is now up to 36.
