Oops. Forgot to write about yesterday's puzzle. Luckily, the Wordlebot site has archives now. So we can do this!
I opened with SHORT to honor Martin Short for his Emmy nomination for Only Murders in the Building. Way to go, Marty. No, I went with SHORT because I was stumped and it was the only word that popped into my head. My tribute to Marty got me a yellow tile for R, so thanks.
One of the words that always pops into my head when there is a yellow R is REPLY. I don't think I've ever used it, because the Y scares me. But screw it, I've had some quick solves lately and I'm on a three-month win streak. If not now, then when? I type in REPLY and hit enter. I get yellows for the R and E. This makes think of all the -ER ending words. So I figure I had better check to see if that's the case today. I type in GAMER for some reason and get yellows for G, E, and R and a green for A. All right, that was a good guess.
I know where the A is and, based on my prior guesses, the R has to be third. -AR--. I know E is either first or last. An E at the front with G towards the back doesn't make much sense, so I throw it at the end. And the G has to go fourth based on where I've put the other letters: -ARGE. I want to type in LARGE and be done, but I see my second guess and know the L is out. I take a moment and type in BARGE for a win in four. Pretty good puzzle for Thursday.
