Mike -- I got a 3 today. Seems I got lucky with my second word.

This result seemed ordinary so I didn't post.

Your third word choice left me scratching my head for at least 2 reasons.

I admitted in my spoiler it was a poor choice. Certainly the missing N was a reason (it's late in the day so feel okay in stating this without a spoiler), but what was the second?

My only excuse is I usually play first thing in the morning, while the coffee is brewing, so I'm not fully awake yet.

Picked a good starter, and the answer just kinda hit me.

Just curious, when you say this one took a while approximately how much time will you spend doing Wordle? I am too impatient and if I don't see the answer within one minute I will just type in a random 5 letter word with letters that I still have available.. I doubt if I have ever spent more than 5 minutes doing a Wordle. BTW, I am terrible at it and probably average 4 guesses.

I would say a bad day takes about 15 minutes.

An average of four isn't bad. With the new editor, I think I'm running in the high 3's, but previously I was in the low 4's.

In other news, I think I'll deviate from my usual starting word tomorrow, hoping for a hole in one. Here are some five-letter Christmas words I'm considering:

ANGEL
BOUGH
CAROL
CHEER
COMET
CUPID
FROST
HOLLY
JOLLY
MERRY
MYRRH (Are there any longer words with none of the standard vowels?)
SCARF
VIXEN
