I start my Wordle with HOMER because I am listening to the Nats Chat Podcast as I play and Joey Meneses hit two homers to beat the Phillies last night. (We won't talk about the afternoon game the Nats and Phillies played.) HOMER was a good word for me as I got green tiles for the O, E, and R. This is a bit scary since I've pretty much just got to guess to find the two remaining letters. Like, this could go sideways on me pretty quickly here. I guess POKER and it is not the answer. See how hard this could get for me?
I want to be strategic, but it's really hard to do. I do know that MOVER can't work because of my first guess, but do I stick with the V in the middle? This leads me to LOVER, is that a good guess or just a stab in the dark like POKER was? I don't know. I am buoyed by that fact that there are only so many XOXER, but there is still a lot to choose from. Just typing my X thing now brought to mind BOXER. I don't know. I go with LOVER for my third guess just to get things moving. And it turns over all green! A solve in three after feeling such despair is a very good result. I won't worry myself about how much of the win was due to luck because it just feels like a good win. I'm also curious to see how a certain TikTok Wordle player will react to today's solution.
