    Just too many possibilities on this one.
    Yeah, I started with three greens. I should have gone fishing for more consonants in my subsequent guesses (i.e. not used the letters I knew to be correct). I took my first wordle L today.

We cannot expect to experience the blessing of faith by standing inactive on the sidelines any more than we can experience the benefits of health by sitting on a sofa watching sporting events on television and giving advice to the athletes. And yet for some, “spectator discipleship” is a preferred if not primary way of worshipping." -Pres. Uchtdorf

            • 3/6

              Spoiler for Guesses:

              FIRST
              FLOUR
              FRAME

              I chose between FLOUR and FRAME for my second word, so I could get vowels identified. FLOUR didn't yield any additional letters, so I went with FRAME next.

              • Struggling the last two days.

                Spoiler for my guesses:

                iRAtE
                gRAvE
                bRAkE
                FRAME

                After the first guess I thought "sweet, I am going to get this in 2 guesses today" but then I found 12 words that would work. All are common. My very first guess was "FRAME", but I picked other options as they would be more effective in trimming the list if I was wrong. Should have trusted my gut I guess.

                    I think today's puzzle is a good example of how guessing words that clearly won't fit (the anti-DH strategy) is beneficial. When you have 3 correct letters early, and the list of possibly correct words is so long, you really need to eliminate as many letters as possible. Guessing only from a list of words that could fit your 3 correct letters only allows you to guess 2 new letters per guess. If you can double that to 4 new letters per guess, for at least one turn, you've got a better chance of getting it right in less turns, I think.

                      Ha. You didn't need to spoiler tag that.

Now you stick to that, everything else is cream cheese. --Coach Finstock

                                Perhaps he was trying to counterbalance GM's spoilrific post.
