I open with PLANT today. No real reason, but it gets me two yellow tiles: the L and the A. Now I have to decide what to do with this info. I briefly consider USUAL, but that's a wasted guess unless the answer is USUAL. I'm not really one of those swing for the fences players, so I'm not going to do it. LAUGH feels like a better guess, although I do wonder if I should see if there is an E in this answer or not. Since the A is not the third letter, I'm guessing there are two vowels in the solution. Eh, I decide to go with LAUGH for guess 2.
Okay, I get location of the A. I also learn that G is also in the answer. I wonder about GALLY, but I feel the same about it as I did with the USUAL idea. It just doesn't feel right. I play with G at the front some more, but that doesn't really get me anywhere. I move it to the third spot MAGLY? No, that feels made up. I play around for a bit and end up on BAGEL, which I feel good about. I hit enter.
And... (Marv Albert voice)... YES! I get a solve in three. This is very exciting, dear reader. I feel like I'm in a groove this week. I would've had a solve in three yesterday, but chose wrongly. I had a solve in three on Tuesday. What will Friday bring?
