When I started yesterday's Wordle with THIRD, I had the brilliant stupid idea to start Friday's puzzle with FIRST. Even though it is stupid, I decided to stick with the idea, so FIRST was my FRIST guess today. And FIRST pulled its weight, giving me a yellow R and a green T. After looking at what I had, I decided to see if the word ended in RT. COURT and ABORT were the two words that made sense to me, but I wasn't sure which one to pick. I thought it through and decided to let alphabetical order make my decision for me. ABORT did confirm that the answer ends in RT, but it wasn't the answer. I did get a yellow A in additional to the green R.
Every word I thought of for my third guess started with S, which is not in the answer. SMART, START. I decided to type in something off the wall to see if it triggered anything and ended up typing in whart, which probably isn't a word. But it did lead me to CHART for my third guess and a solve in three. This was a good solve, and it was really great because I broke my streak of stupidity today. I guess I could have had a solve in two if I really took a long time to think it through, but solving in two involves a lot of luck. As the puzzle played out, I think both COURT and ABORT would have led me to CHART in three.
