When you think about it, every word is a elimination word until it is the solution

I'm surprised by how many scam texts and calls I get. I'm surprised that in this day and age that anyone falls for any of that stuff and it is even remotely profitable or worthwhile to do. But, like the kid who was selling lemonade for $50.00 a glass, all you need is one sale

There were too many words that used the pattern you found on three for it to be very helpful. And, emphasizing the role of luck in the puzzle, you hit upon what was probably the only other word that could fit the last four in tier five.

I'm glad you got it. Good save.

Our tier four words were the same. I saw a lot of those one-two punches in the results of 1623.

I really hate THOSE words, and there have been a lot of them in the last two weeks.

Unless you're playing hard mode, use a word that will eliminate possible letters in those last two spots.When there are lots of one and two letters variants like there were in 1623, you're relying on luck to get it before you run out of tiers.

A four is a good puzzle., especially for today's word.

I think everyone had your tier five word before they solved it. Wordle and Wordlers are things to be thankful for.

Brilliant. I followed your trajectory just one tier delayed.

You get the right letters and a little inspiration and there's your solution.

It was a fun puzzle for that reason. There is something satisfying about looking at your tier two and thinking, "Let's try..." and it working out.

It was that yellow that gove it away. There were a million words that fit the pattern.
