Wordle 731 and Long Weekend Catch-Up

I opened today's Wordle with PRINT. The word sprint was on my mind, but sprint is obviously too long, so I dropped the s and went with PRINT. This was a good opening guess since I got greens for R and T. I decide to stick to my one vowel strategy based on the placement of the two letters that I have. So wonder about E, but don't really get anywhere. I put an A in the middle and build out from there to get DRAFT. This guess results in a yellow F. So I've got a pretty good idea that the word starts with F, since having it in the middle really doesn't make any sense.

So I've got FR--T. Instead of focusing on whether E, O, or U is the vowel, I decide to look at what could be the fourth letter. What makes sense among the letters that I have left that could go in front of the T and make sense? I look through my letters and the only thing that doesn't feel odd is the S. So I've got FREST, FRUST, and FROST. Gee, I wonder which of these I go with for my third guess? FREST. Just kidding, I go with FROST for a solve in three to extend my streak to 69. Nice. 

Ok, long weekend, so a few quick notes on Saturday - Monday.

- Saturday was a solve in three. I don't have the path I got to get to RANCH saved, but I mean, come on, all roads lead to RANCH, don't they?

- Sunday was a solve in solve in four. CRASH>SHONE>SHILL>SHYLY. I give them credit for using a word with Y and only Y as the vowel. For a brief moment, I was wondering if SHULK was a word for my fourth guess. But then I played with Y and it snapped into place. Also, they used an adverb for the answer which is kind of wild.

- Monday was a tough one that I was able to solve in five. MARSH>PAINT>CAGED>BAYOU>KAZOO. I was mad but also impressed that I have three guesses in a row that only had the green A. For the fourth guess, I briefly considered KAYAK, but I think that's already been the answer. My understanding is that the answers aren't going to repeat and each day is unique. So I steered away, but kept the Y in the middle and got to BAYOU. After that guess, I was able to KAZOO pretty easily since I had the K in mind and barely any letters to choose from.
