I wanted to start with an A today. I used MARSH earlier in the week and want to do that again. I type in TRASH, but decided against that. I switch to CRASH for my first goal. I get greens for C, R, and A, and for a brief moment, I'm thinking this is the improbable solve in one. Unfortunately, it's not the solve in one. I get gray tiles for the S and H. I've got three green tiles and now I want to try to get this solve in two.
I start running through the possible answers that I could get. CRAVE, CRATE, CRAMP, CRAZY, CRAZE pop into mind. I really want to get this in two, but I also feel that I should be a little bit strategic. Most of the words that I could think of end with E, so I decide to use one of those words. But I do decide to get a little bit wild and decide to go with CRAZE for my second guess. It's a swing, but one I feel good about. I do get a green tile for the E, but the answer was not CRAZE. For my third guess, I decide to go with the word that I feel strongest about which for some reason is CRATE. Sadly, that is not the answer either. I type in CRAVE, but wait to see if there is anything else it can be when I see CRANE. So I know I've got a 50/50, which is a bummer. I think about it for longer than is necessary because this is straight up a game of chance at this point. I go with CRANE and get a solve in four.
The result is a bit disappointing based on where I started, but getting it in four is best than getting in five. One good thing about today's solve, though, is that when I check my results against WordleBot, I got it in fewer guesses than the bot. So I feel a little bit better about getting the solve when I did because it was one where once you get the structure, it was kind of a crapshoot to solve. So my disappoint dissipates a bit. My streak is up to 70.
