I'm back after a week at the beach. I was able to get all of my solves in, but didn't write about them because I was at the beach. It's pretty self explanatory.
I started today's puzzle with SPORT. I was thinking about the word portly, but that's six letters instead of five, so it wouldn't work and I made the leap to SPORT from there. I got a yellow for the O and T, so I had some positive stuff to work with going forward. I tend to move the letters that I have found to the front of my subsequent guess, and I follow that pattern here, moving the T and the O all the way to the front so I could guess TOUCH.
I found a green tile for the O and yellows for the T and H with this guess. I start to play with the letters and type in TOXHX. I'm thinking about this for like a minute before I realize that T can't be at the front of the word. Good thing I caught that stupid error. So now I need to do some serious thinking. The T can only go in either the third or the fourth slot. I can't see it in the fourth, so I put it third. I type in HOT-- and from there, HOTEL quickly comes to me for a solve in three. My streak is currently up to 82; is it too early to start thinking about hitting the 90-day mark?
