I started today with THIRD as my first guess. I wanted to make a joke about THIRD being the third word I thought of, but I didn't feel like doing the joke math to make it work. So let's all have a moment of silence for the joke that I killed in the cradle due to laziness. OK. THIRD did give me yellows for T and R. My initial idea is to think of a word that ends in RT. SHORT comes to mind, but won't work, obviously, so I need to look elsewhere. I've had two days in a row where I used a guess that couldn't work because I already knew the letter didn't go in that slot, so I'm being extra vigilant about that today.
As I was thinking of potential second guess words, START is a word that really intrigued me. The double T gives me pause, but screw it, I pull the trigger on it. There is not a double T in the word, but there is an A. And then I realize I fucked up the one thing I was trying to avoid. Maybe you saw it earlier than I did. I put R in the fourth slot in both of my first two guesses. Dammit. What is wrong with my brain this week?
For my third guess, I want to use RATIO, but the I has been eliminated. I need to look elsewhere. I don't see much with R as the second letter, but then I stumble onto PARTY. Sure, let's have a PARTY, I've already fucked around enough with this puzzle. I hit enter and am pleasantly surprised that PARTY is the answer. I'm glad to get a solve in three, but man, I have really been out to lunch this week using guesses that are invalid.
