Ok, I open today's puzzle with BRING, hoping it will bring me a good result. I apologize for typing that. That felt wrong as soon as I typed it. I do get a yellow for the R, so I maybe it worked? Seeing the R gives me chills because I worry that it might be a word that ends in ER. I decide to test this theory with my second guess: PALER. For some reason, "A Whiter Shade of Pale" was on my mind, even though I haven't heard that song in a while. Also, that song is not based on The Miller's Tale from Canterbury Tales.
Anyways, I get yellow tiles for L, E, and R. I'm glad that this puzzle won't devolve into a guessing game, but I'm a little bit confused about what to do with these letters. I want to guess REPLY, but I know that won't work because the P is out. I mess around with E at the front, but that doesn't really get me anywhere. Same with L at the front. I figure my best bet is trying to figure out where to place the R. I try to build around the R in the fourth spot. I stumble onto CLERK and that feels like a good word guess number three. Everything turns up green, and I've got myself a solve in three. Pretty good puzzle today.
