Two days in a row where I did not get a correct letter on my opening guess, can I make it three in row? I type in PRIME and find that, yes, I can make three days in a row without a single correct letter. I don't know what the odds or the probability of being able to do that is, but I imagine it's pretty small. Part of me wants to try to keep this going as long as possible. But I have to make legit guesses. I could guess QUIPY or some other stupid word from here to keep it going. That's not what I'm looking to do. The last three days according to WordleBot, my opening guesses had luck scores of 8, 7, and 7. I'm threading some kind of needle here, I just don't know how or why I'm doing this. I want to let it ride.
For my second guess, I decide to get back to basics. I type in SLACK and hit enter. I get greens for the L, A, and K. To get such a positive result on my second guess buoys me and makes it easier for me to laugh about the streak of ineffective opening guesses. From here, I think there are only two words still available to me as valid answers: BLANK and FLANK. I take a moment to think it through and feel pretty confident that I have a 50/50 situation on my hands here. I decide to go with BLANK as my third guess, and it is not the answer. FLANK for a solve in four it is. Let's see if I can get four all-gray opening guesses in a row tomorrow.
