Wow, it's Wordle 711! Let's go get some Slurpees! Honestly, I think it's probably been at least five years since I've had a Slurpee, and probably a bit longer than that. But maybe today is the day to change that.
While I consider whether or not to get a Slurpee, I open with PLANT as my first guess. I told you I wouldn't start with TRASH today. The other (cynical) half of my prediction was incorrect since the T is gray. But the L and the A are yellow. I was wondering if maybe I was using A too much in my opening guesses lately, but today it worked out.
Usually when I get two letter on my first guess my impulse is put them at the start of my next guess. Today, however, I fought against that urge and put the AL at the end. I wanted to be bold and guess USUAL, but I chickened out and went with a guess that could give me some actual information: I submitted MORAL as my second guess. But I didn't get a lot out of this guess. The A and L were both yellow and the rest was gray.
What a bummer, but that feeling gave me my next guess: SADLY. Sadly, it was not the answer, but I got the position of the L and a pretty good idea of where the A is supposed to go at this point. The A was either at the beginning or the end of answer. I honestly did not really consider much with the A at the end because that just seemed too odd. So I put A at the front and started to work the answer out. I had a feeling the the word ended with an E, but I did a quick check to see if an LK could work at the end. Based on prior guesses, the LT and LL endings were out, and since I couldn't find an LK, I was fairly confident with LE as the end. From there, it was just a matter of time util I saw AGILE as the answer.
AGILE in four is a pretty good result. Words with three vowels are just going to be ones that I will probably only be able to get in four based on my one vowel opener strategy. But this was a good result and fairly quick solve, so I found it enjoyable.
