For the second guess, I suggest limiting your letters to among DHNL (plus whatever you hit on the first guess), if possible. If not, use as many as you can.

I use a different starting word each time, and limit my second guess to STNRLHDEA, plus whatever I hit the first time. Some two-word combos will hit all those letters, like HIRED + LANTS. For the DHNL suggestion, I already extracted the letters you always use in your first guess.

A rare time a guess was right. I also considered LAPEL for the third turn.

When the first two blocks came up green on my second guess, I really thought I had it in two.

The only reason I solved it on the third try was that I couldn't think of anything else that would fit.

Surprised to see the NYT using this word. If somebody played it in Scrabble, I would challenge it as a legitimate word. I'd be surprised if it ever appeared in the NYT, except maybe in quoting somebody.
