MY STARTER WORD: THIRD

Happy Wednesday everyone! Our third Wordle puzzle of the week wasn’t any trouble for this seasoned solver. I’m not gonna lie — my heart did skip a few beats at the end when I was searching for that last letter (V) and only had one shot left. I’m surprised I have any fingernails left!

Starting with THIRD, the T was in the WS (wrong spot) so I figured on my next guess I’d place it at the end. SWEET came to mind for my next try. It produced an E, but like my previous attempt it was in the WS. STOLE popped into my head next and voilà, I had four of my five letters lined up and the solve was primed for completion! Would STOKE get the job done? Nope. It had to be STONE then, right? Nice try, bub! With only one attempt left I chose the V and whadda ya know? Winner winner chicken dinner! I haven’t had to push my solve this far down the grid in a few days so it’s nice to know I haven’t mastered the game (yet!).

Be well and enjoy the rest of your day!
