I opened Thursday's game with PRINT, which gave me a yellow tile for the R. This didn't give me a lot to work with. I decided against trying to put R at the front of the word and came up with COVER. I got a green O, which gives me something to really start building my next guesses around. I couldn't build anything initially until I started looking at using Y. This got me to DORKY, which was a really good guess. I got a yellow D, but more importantly, I got greens for the R and Y. So I have XORDY. I briefly considered LORDY, but that seemed ridiculous, so I went with WORDY for a win in four. Pretty good solve for a Thursday.
Today's puzzle started with a guess of CLAIM for me. I got yellows for the C and A. So I had two letters to consider as I thought about my second guess. I played with the letters for a bit and came up with RECAP for my second guess. I got the position of the A and another yellow for E. This stumped me and I played around for a while trying to figure out where everything went. I knew C was either second or fifth, but fifth didn't make sense. So I was looking at ECXAX, XCEAX, or XCXAE. I eliminated the last option quickly. With E at the front, all I could see was EXACT, which was wrong for a lot of reasons. So I focused on XCEAX. I wanted to see BEACH in that combination, but I knew that was wrong, but it did lead me to OCEAN, for a solve in three. (Finally!).
