Five turns without a green -- that must set some kind of record.

🟩🟩🟩🟩⬜
🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩






After the first turn, I was probably in the same boat as DogHead, torn between TREAD AND TREAT. I sat there agonizing which word to pick, the one I did or the one he did. I debated whether to go with my first instinct, second one, or flip a coin. My first instinct when it comes to guessing game situations has historically been awful with this game. Then again, they rarely use a nice common word, with five different letters, and no rare letters.

In the end, my distrust and loathing of myself won the day and I went against my first instinct. Arggghhhh! I would have more respect for myself if I had flipped a coin. If it didn't go my way, I could have at least blamed the coin.

You might say the NYT threw us a treat today, but I overthought the situation too much to accept it.

Wordle #428 August 21, 2022: 4/6

STARE / YYYBG
TASTE / BGGGG
PITCH / BBYBB
WASTE / Correct

After getting 4 of 5 letters with STARE, I thought "Wow... I'm in for another 2 like yesterday!" After TASTE failed to give the 5th green, I was still faced with the possibilities of PASTE, CASTE, HASTE, and WASTE, so I played PITCH. When none of P, C, and H hit, I knew the missing letter was a W.

STARE = YYYXG
TASTE = XGGGG -- After this turn, I figured the first letter could be W, P, H, C, B. I wanted a word with as many of those letters as possible, but couldn't do better than POUCH, which had three. Can you think of one with four?
POUCH=XXXXX -- That narrowed it down to B and W. I don't trust my guessing skills in this game, so flipped a coin, which fortunately landed on tails, which I assigned to ...
WASTE=GGGGG
