Woah, Rose!

I used the process of elimination strategy today.

With apologies to Sherlock Holmes, if all the words with sensible letters have been ruled out, the words that remain, no matter how ridiculous, must be the correct solution.

[Inanna]

ROFL. You did not have to put that in a spoiler, Frelga!

My method today was three random, non-repetitive words, then lots of head scratching and a bit of luck. It's an imperfect form of anagrams, if there are enough yellow/green tiles. I used to be terrible at anagrams, but a daily dose of Spelling Bee from the NY Times has helped greatly.

The three words were PIETY, LAUGH, and CROWN. The word of the day, WHACK, was not a ridiculous word for me Rather useful, actually.

That's the process I used narya, but with different words. I've noticed many of the words have few vowels.

And I was so absolutely convinced it was CHALK I had _HA_K and I knew there was a C but didn't know where and it just made so much sense!!! lol

[RoseMorninStar]

I almost chose

CHALK

today too. And yesterday I almost choose

BURSA

. I was very lucky I chose right both times.

I used

narya's words from yesterday on today's puzzle, but funny enough the winning word is on my list of words I often use as one of my first 3 tries.

[Alatar]

A good first guess helps!

After my second guess, I knew it was one of two words. It's just bad luck that I didn't choose the right one for my third guess.

[elengil]

oops

[elengil]

In playing this game I have come to the conclusion I just know way too many 5-letter words.

There's no such thing as too many words!

Today they were actually less tricksy than I expected

Sigh. *Could* have had it in 2.

If someone figured out what the future words will be as has been reported, there must be some sort of algorithm/pattern to the correct answers. Other than 5 letters, I have not discerned a pattern.

Wow. That's a lotta green there, Inanna.

[Frelga]

IIRC, there's a list they are working through, so it's not necessarily a pattern to word choice.

I mean yeah but it's just any of those could have been right - they were real words, they had the right last 4 letters, they were 5 letters long. That honestly doesn't narrow it down much sometimes!
