I didn't get a chance to post yesterday since I was at my son's high school graduation. So I'll give a short write up of yesterday's puzzle and then a normal write up of today's puzzle. I don't remember my exact path to victory yesterday, but it was a solve in four. I got to my third guess and and had a C, R, M, and E. Some letters (I think the E for sure in the last spot) were in their correct places, but some were not. I looked at my letters and narrowed down the potential answer to either CREME or CRIME. I went bold and guessed CREME, which was incorrect. So I was able to get it in four with CRIME. I liked that I got it to a 50/50 guess, but I also don't like that I got it to a 50/50.
Today, I opened with THINK and every tile was gray. I talked about this scenario earlier this week, I think. It sucks, but it does give you information to work with, so you it's not the worst. For guess number 2, I pivoted to E and A hoping to get some correct answers. I guessed DREAM, and got yellow tiles for E, A, and M. Luckily, the ER ending is eliminated. I think about what to do and come up with MAPLE for my third guess. I don't get any new letters, but I do get the correct positions for the three that I already know.
So now I have to try to figure out those last two letters. Let's see MASSE, MAYBE... I think those are my only two options. Looks like I've got another 50/50 thing on my hands. Based on the uncertainty, I decide to go with MAYBE and get rewarded. Of course it was MAYBE. When in doubt, definitely maybe is the answer. Streak is up to 64.
