I meant to do two posts yesterday, the weekend wrap-up and the Monday wordle, but I never got around to the Monday post. So now I have the same dilemma, do I write a combined post or plan to get two separate posts? I'm going to tempt fate and try to get the Monday post and the Tuesday post, but we will see what happens.
I opened with STING and got all gray tiles for my guess. After that, I wanted to get a guess with two vowels in it. I played around trying to think of something and landed on RELAY as a good and unique E/A word. I felt really pleased with myself for having a unique word, and I got rewarded with just a yellow R. Wow. I know that getting gray tiles still gives you information to help you solve the wordle, but man, is it depressing to only get one correct letter (in the wrong place!) after two guesses.
So I'm in complete vowel-hunting mode at this point, so I need something with O and U in it. And an R. I have to use the letter that I have. This pushes me to PROUD, which finally gets me some green tiles. The R and O are in the correct positions. I get a feeling that there needs to be another vowel in this word, so it leads me to thinking about a double O. I type in XROOX. I replace the first X with a B, so there is BROOX. So my next guess is going to be either BROOM or BROOK. I'm not sure if BROOK is spelled that way or similar to the name, so I go with BROOM for guess four. Green B, green R, green O, another green O, and then a gray M. Damn. So close. I type in BROOK for a solve in five, which isn't the worst, but not the best either. Oh well.
