I fiddled around with a few different words before I decided to go with SPORT because I was watching the Spain-Denmark game in the Women's World Cup last night. SPORT was, I thought, a decent guess, but all I got correct was a yellow O. Knowing that the O wasn't in the middle meant I needed to use at least one additional vowel, so I started thinking about words with the letter E in them. Eventually, I had COVET typed in, but knew that couldn't work because T wasn't in the word. This led me to COVEN for my second and the thought that maybe I should go to confession. COVEN got me an additional yellow for the E.
I knew the word had a O and E, so I typed in XEXOX. This naturally led me to XEROX, but I didn't hit enter because of the R. XENON was also out because of the N from my second guess. I was glad that I had eliminated letters that prevented me from wasting a guess on an X word because it was awfully tempting to try it. I couldn't think of anything that had O at the front of the word, nor could I come up with anything for the E at the front. I typed in XEXOX again, and then I saw HELLO. I hit enter for a solve in three and to extend my streak to 121. I also now have 79 solves in three compared to 80 solves in 5. It's been a goal of mine to get those even and then eventually to have more solves in three for a while, so it feels really good to be on the precipice of that.
